That's the funniest part so far. I mean, how does a user from GUI can know that 
"the name of one numerical integration function is quad" ?

As I said, and I reiterate: those who don't bother to RTFM _first_ do _not_ 
deserve to deal with science/engineering.

Aversion to reading/learning almost definitely means possessing it can't do the 
engineering/science work.

The CLI and its concepts are _far_ simpler than serious thing in 
engineering/science.

There _exist_ entry barriers. E.g. pilots _first_ learn math, physics, 
aerodynamics, and only _then_ how to pilot planes.


The barriers exist for _very_ good reasons.
