GNU Octave
High-level programming language for numerical computations
GNU Octave is a high-level programming language primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear equations, and for performing other numerical experiments. It is mostly compatible with MATLAB, which makes it a popular choice for users who require a free alternative to MATLAB.
History
GNU Octave was conceived around 1988 by John W. Eaton and was intended to be a companion to a chemical reactor design course. The first alpha release was in 1992, and version 1.0 was released in 1994. Since then, it has grown significantly in functionality and user base.
Features
GNU Octave offers a range of features, including:
- A command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.
- A graphical user interface (GUI) for more interactive use.
- Extensive mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, and numerical integration.
- Support for user-defined functions written in Octave's own language or in C++, C, or Fortran.
- Compatibility with many MATLAB scripts.
Syntax and Semantics
The syntax of GNU Octave is largely compatible with MATLAB, which allows for easy transition between the two. It supports various data types, including matrices, arrays, strings, and structures. Octave also supports object-oriented programming.
Applications
GNU Octave is used in various fields such as:
Development and Community
GNU Octave is developed as part of the GNU Project and is released under the GNU General Public License. The development is community-driven, with contributions from users and developers worldwide. The community provides support through mailing lists, forums, and online documentation.
