Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-567
2005-07-14
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : octave
Version : 2.1.57
Release : 7.fc3
Summary : A high-level language for numerical computations.
Description :
GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran, or other languages.
