Scilab
Publisher's description:
Scilab was designed to be a scientific software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications.
Scilab was designed to be a scientific software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications.
Scilab is an open source software. Since 1994 it has been distributed freely along with the source code via the Internet. It is currently used in educational and industrial environments around the world. Scilab is now the responsibility of the Scilab Consortium, launched in May 2003. There are currently 25 members in Scilab Consortium.
Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions with the possibility to add interactively programs from various languages (C, C++, Fortran). It has sophisticated data structures (including lists, polynomials, rational functions, linear systems...), an interpreter and a high level programming language.
Scilab has been designed to be an open system where the user can define new data types and operations on these data types by using overloading
Here are some key features of "Scilab":
?� -D and 3-D graphics, animation
?� Linear algebra, sparse matrices
?� Polynomials and rational functions
?� Interpolation, approximation
?� Simulation: ODE solver and DAE solver
?� Scicos: a hybrid dynamic systems modeler and simulator
?� Classic and robust control, LMI optimization
?� Differentiable and non-differentiable optimization
?� Signal processing
?� Metanet: graphs and networks
?� Parallel Scilab
?� Statistics
?� Interface with Computer Algebra: Maple package for Scilab code generation
?� Interface with Fortran, Tcl/Tk, C, C++, Java, LabVIEW
?� And a large number of contributions for various domains

What's New in This Release:
Windows style editing: basic operations implemented.
Multi-diagram editing: for example copy and paste from any window to any other.
Documentation: fairly complete on-line help and supporting documentation.
Active Scilab prompt: menu activated.
Undo operation: one step per window.
Diagram browser: a much nicer replacement for the old navigator.
From/To workspace blocks: support vector Scilab variables of various types but not matrices.
Palette operations: New Palette browser.
Palettes: enriched Palettes of elementary blocks (Modelica blocks,
Matrix operation blocks, Integer operation blocks).
Modelica blocks: on-line Modelica code editing and more.
Inspection of available parameters: available in every window. Block Masking: create, delete, customize, and save Block GUI.
From/Goto blocks: available in every sub-system.
Block/Diagram data inspection: Details menu.
General data types: vector and matrix of double (real and complex), int8, int16, int32, signed and unsigned,...
System Requirements:
No special requirements.
