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.
