| | Review of Scilab |
 | | Then I tried scilab, which was released recently for Unix and Linux by INRIA (Institut National de Recherche de Informatique et en Automatique) of France. |
 | | Scilab is a fully featured scientific package, with hundreds of built-in functions for matrix manipulation, signal processing (complete with its own toolbox), Fourier transforms, plotting, etc. It is based on the use of matrices, which means that, with proper planning, you don't need to use subscripted variables in your programs. |
 | | The worst was an error in scilab's attempt to convert a function definition into FORTRAN code. |
