Programming language

[Christopher E. Hill]

Hello,
        I am wondering what is the best language for doing engineering type
work is.  What I would like to have is the abilty to do basic
multiplication, exponents, logs, inverse trig functions, and dot and cross
product.  I also would like to have the program run under windows, or at
least DOS.  Any and all help is appreciated!!

Thanks,
