Octave is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.che.utexas.edu
in the directory /pub/octave. The files are in gzipped tar format (see the
file README on prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu).
Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It 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.
The Octave distribution includes a 150+ page Texinfo manual.
It is also available on the GNU `languages' tape. Ask
gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for more details.
