Hi all,

Is there some open source application with functions as Matlab on linux?

I feel very grateful to any suggestion.

Regards,
Kejia

GNU Octave. Freemat may also work, though I have never tried it.

HTH.

Octave is the closest you'll get, but R (a dialect of S) and maxima
(similar to Mathematica) might also be useful.

Cheers,

I would give octave, scilab and freemat each a try and then decide which
is the best for myself.


Someone also claims python (well, some python packages are quite powerful)
can fullfill their

computational need.

For Python:
SymPy: http://code.google.com/p/sympy/
NumPy: http://numpy.scipy.org/

Octave is very close to Matlab. It implements virtually all of the
core Matlab functions, and it has the same syntax, unlike Scilab or
the Python numeric libraries. You might want to install QtOctave as
well if you're afraid of terminals. ;-) Both Octave and QtOctave are
packaged for Debian.

It also has a very active community in the mailing lists. Definitely
worth checking out.

Just to mention it: Scipy is a collection of numerical routines built on
top of numpy.

Python wrappers of non-BSD libraries and other fun stuff:
http://scipy.org/scipy/scikits/

And for plotting and convenient interactivity:

matplotlib + ipython

I have been using Octave and find it very useful.

Hi all friends,

Thank you very much for your help.

SciPy can solve all my current requirements. Octave may be stronger, but
the learning curve for me is also larger. Sage is my another option -
also Python-based.

Thank you guys again.

Best regards,
Kejia
