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. +</longdescription> +<use> + <flag name='sparse'>Enable enhanced support for sparse matrix algebra</flag> +</use> +</pkgmetadata> |
