Problem 1 research

I was was given the part for researching on softwares needed for problem 1.
It wasnt as easy as i thought it was.
But being able to find some links at least gave me so encouragement.
Maybe i never knew IT as much as i thought i did.
Its actually almost everything under the sun.
There are so many companies dealing in all sorts of software and so many prices and packages to compare.
Its almost giving me a headache.
Shall seek advice from the tutor tomorrow.
What are tutors for? to guide us of course...
