Is this what you're looking for?

R is described by its authors as "not unlike" S, which is a language developed at Bell Laboratories for statistical computing and graphics. It provides support for a variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true computer language which contains a number of control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. Fortran and C code can be linked and called at run time. . S is the statistician's Matlab and R is to S what Octave is to Matlab. . Versions 0.90.0 and higher have R functions CRAN.packages, install.packages, and update.packages that can be used to select and update R packages from the Comprehensive R Archive Network. The Debian packages r-cran, r-cran-non-free, and r-mlbench are no longer needed and have been withdrawn.

It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. . Octave uses some of the best and most respected numerical libraries as balgen, dassl, eisspack, fftpack, lapack, linpack, minpack, odepack, ranlib, slatec-fn and villad. Octave can be dynamically extended with user-supplied C++ files. -- Jesse Jacobsen, Pastor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Grace Lutheran Church (ELS) http://www.jvlnet.com/~jjacobsen/ Madison, Wisconsin GnuPG public key ID: 2E3EBF13
