6 <expand|tmdoc-title|The GNU Octave system>
8 GNU <name|Octave> is a high-level language, primarily intended for
9 numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
10 solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other
11 numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with
12 <name|Matlab>. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
14 <name|Octave> has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear
15 algebra problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating
16 ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary
17 differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible
18 and customizable via user-defined functions written in <name|Octave>'s own
19 language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran,
22 A first experimental interface between <TeXmacs> and GNU <name|Octave> has
23 been written by <name|Michael Graffam>. Unfortunately, we get little help
24 from the main <name|Octave> developers for the improvement of the interface
25 and the integration of patches into the mainline of <name|Octave>. So, if
26 you like the idea of using <name|Octave> from inside <TeXmacs>, then please
