Does it have graphics libraries that allow one to animate the motion of simple objects (e.g., spheres, ellipsoids, parallelepipeds, etc.) based on the results of numerical simulations?

Ordinary Differential Equations, I'm assuming.

Python has tons of math / sci libraries. Matplotlib, scipy, pylab etc.
Under Windows, get Python(X,Y) and you will get an IDE, Python, and
all the modules I've mentionned. A quick google, for those coming from
a matlab background:

What OS will you be using?
