Description

GNU Octave is a high-level interpreted language and scientific computing platform. It is a free and open-source software package developed by the GNU Project. Octave provides a 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 can also be used as a batch-oriented language. Octave is suitable for numerical computations, including linear and nonlinear equations, linear and nonlinear optimization, integration, and differential equations. It also provides powerful graphics and plotting capabilities. It also supports symbolic computation, which is useful for mathematics, engineering, and science. Octave also supports a wide range of programming languages and libraries, including C, C++, Fortran, Java, GNU Octave, and Python. Octave is a popular choice for scientific computing, engineering, and data analysis applications. It is also often used for education, research, and industrial applications. It is available on many operating systems, including Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD.
