       | problems you've already thought through. I still reach for a pad

       | I'd be interested in hearing what the HN community thinks.

         | I agree! As a start, Pluto is quite cool for
         | thinking/learning/discovering/exploring, imho:

           | What I'm looking for when I talk about tools for thinking are
           | the same type of sketching out a problem I do on paper. My
           | first-year physics professor said (many years ago) that the
           | way to start solving a problem is to make a well-labeled
           | figure. I'm looking for something like MathCAD where you can
           | label a figure with equations, or in COMSOL where you can
           | start with a parametric description of a problem.
