High-level language for numerical computations
Octave is a high-level interpreted language that is specialized for numerical computations. It can be used for both linear and non-linear applications and it provides great support for visualizing results. Work may be performed both at the interactive command-line as well as via script files.
Documentation
A full description of Octave capabilities is available at http://octave.org/doc/interpreterN.B. The Octave language is quite similar to Matlab so that most programs are easily portable. There is support for editing both in Emacs.
