From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
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.
