cs2036 - Numerical Modelling Languages for Linux/UNIX, Windows, and other systems.

A collection computational language software, including the major Matlab alternatives: Scilab; Octave; and Rlab.Copyright 2005 Edition Arnold Kochman. Other copyrights apply,including but not limited to the GNU Public License.About Me Matlab has become the standard for DSP system design and simulation and other design work involving intensive experimental computation. Matlab, however, is rather expensive. A number of other products have been developed, and some of these are publicly licensed and open source. The major Matlab alternatives are Scilab, Octave, and Rlab. None are100% compatibility with Matlab, but they all provide similar computational power. These and other packages included are described briefly below. Users will need one of the commonly available unzip type utilities, such as PKUNZIP or WinZip, tar for Linux, etc.Programs are distributed with source, when appropriate, and some programs in C, for example, will have to be compiled. The various packages are at different levels of maturity and completeness, and I cannot certify that they are all worthwhile for any particular purpose.
