http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1225 "Octave: A Free, High-Level Language for Mathematics By Malcolm Murphy on Tue, 1997-07-01 01:00. Software A quick look at a language designed to manipulate matrices and provide other numerical functions. For numerical computing, high level languages offer advantages over more traditional languages, such as FORTRAN or C. Built-in graphics capabilities, automatic variable typing and flexible data structures combine to provide an environment in which it is easy to develop your ideas without having to fight with the language. That's not to say that FORTRAN and C are of no use, just that sometimes you want to make life a bit easier. Matlab is a one such language. It is available on many platforms (including Linux) and provides powerful facilities for manipulating matrices, as well as other numerical functions. Unfortunately, Matlab is commercial software and wasn't available for Linux until recently (in the last twelve months or so). However, there are other, freely-available alternatives, and Octave is one such alternative. Superficially, Octave looks very much like Matlab, and the description in its LSM entry reads ``GNU Matlab--A numerical matrix mathematics program.'' To begin, type octave at the shell prompt, and Octave greets you with its own prompt. Now we can start doing math." ..................... best wishes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
