DESCRIPTION
Octave language is "Scientific Programming Language" with:
- Powerful mathematics-oriented syntax with built-in 2D/3D
plotting and visualization tools
- Drop-in compatible with many Matlab scripts
- Solve systems of equations with linear algebra operations on
vectors and matrices.
- Visualize data with high-level plot commands in 2D and 3D.
The Octave syntax is largely compatible with Matlab. The Octave
interpreter can be run in GUI mode, as a console, or invoked as
part of a shell script. More Octave examples can be found in the
Octave wiki.
