Calculations software that is similar to MATLAB.
The first references of
Octave date back to 1988 when people started thinking about it as a brilliant complement for a university book about
chemical reactor designing. From there on, it development has moved forward without stop till it has become one of the best
mathematics programs.
This software, that is reality is nothing more than libraries destined to carry out calculations, and
obtain numeric, graphics and simulation results that can later be analyzed. To manage this, Ocate includes some applications for this specific purpose.
One of the applications it include is
gnuplot, a software application by means of which
function graphics can be generated and that integrates perfectly with the development language proposed by
Octave.
To launch any instruction,
Octave provide a
command line terminal that allows interactive and batch launching with ease.
One of the languages used in
Octave is
C++ and it also allows the
STL library, but the truth is that the syntax in which the applications are programed and the how the calculations are carried out is very similar to
MATLAB, considered the commercial equivalent of this application.
