Octave
<language> A high-level
interactive language by John W. Eaton, with help from many others, like
MATLAB, primarily intended for numerical computations.
Octave provides a convenient
command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.
Octave can do arithmetic for
real and complex {scalars} and matrices, solve sets of nonlinear algebraic equations, integrate functions over finite and infinite intervals, and integrate systems of ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations.
Octave has been compiled and tested with g++ and libg++ on a SPARCstation 2 running SunOS 4.1.2, an IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.5, DEC Alpha systems running OSF/1 1.3 and 3.0, a DECstation 5000/240 running Ultrix 4.2a, and Intel 486 systems running Linux.
It should work on most other Unix systems with g++ and libg++.
Octave is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
It requires gnuplot, a C++ compiler and Fortran compiler or f2c translator.
Latest version: 2.0.16 (released 2000-01-30), as of 2000-06-26.
