  Octave
       
           A high-level interactive language by John
          W. Eaton, with help from many others, like MATLAB, primarily
          intended for numerical computations.  Octave provides a
          convenient command line interface for solving linear and
          nonlinear problems numerically.
       
          Octave can do arithmetic for real and complex scalars
          and matrices, solve sets of nonlinear algebraic equations,
          integrate functions over finite and infinite intervals, and
          integrate systems of ordinary differential and
          differential-algebraic equations.
       
          Octave has been compiled and tested with g++ and libg++ on a
          SPARCstation 2 running SunOS 4.1.2, an IBM RS/6000
          running AIX 3.2.5, DEC Alpha systems running OSF/1 1.3
          and 3.0, a DECstation 5000/240 running Ultrix 4.2a, and
          Intel 486 systems running Linux.  It should work on most
          other Unix systems with g++ and libg++.
       
          Octave is distributed under the GNU General Public
          License.  It requires gnuplot, a C++ compiler and
          Fortran compiler or f2c translator.
