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. - -GNU Octave is also freely redistributable software. You may redistribute -it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License -(GPL) as published by the Free Software Foundation. - -Octave was written by John W. Eaton and many others. Because Octave is -free software you are encouraged to help make Octave more useful by writing -and contributing additional functions for it, and by reporting any problems -you may have. |
