- Title: Octave
- Version: 1.0
- Description: Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended
- for numerical computations. It provides a convenient
- command line interface very similar to Matlab[tm] for
- solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and
- for plotting the results (using gnuplot).
- 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.
- The underlying numerical solvers are currently
- standard Fortran ones like Lapack, Linpack, Odepack,
- the Blas, etc., packaged in a library of C++ classes.

- Platforms: Most Unix-like systems that have a working g++/libg++.
- For graphics, Octave also requires gnuplot.
