It provides a convenient command line interface for +solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing +other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible +with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. + +Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra +problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating +ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary +differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible +and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own +language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran, +or other languages. |
