OCTAVE (Application)
Introduction
Octave is a high-level language mostly compatible with Matlab primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octaveâs own language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C, C++, Fortran, or other languages.
