In command line mode, i.e. when Octave is started without the --gui option, the doc command now opens the GUI documentation browser as a standalone widget, provided that Octave was compiled with GUI support. This manual is the definitive guide to GNU Octave, an interactive environment for numerical computation. GNU Octave provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems using vectors and matrices. This updated edition of the manual covers version 3 of GNU Octave, and includes documentation for new features such This manual documents how to run, install and port GNU Octave, as well as its new features and incompatibilities, and how to report bugs. It corresponds to GNU Octave version 3.0.2. Preface. Acknowledgements; How You Can Contribute to Octave; Distribution. 1 A Brief Introduction to Octave. 1.1 Running Octave; 1.2 Simple Examples. 1.2.1 Creating 1.1.1What is GNU Octave? GNU Octave is free software designed for scienti c computing. It is intended primarily for solving numerical problems. In linear algebra, we will use Octave's capabilities to solve systems of linear equations and to work with matrices and vectors. Octave can also generate sophisticated plots. GNU Octave strives to be among the very best numerical tools available. While compatibility with Matlab is one of many strong features of Octave, we have not achieved 100% compatibility. This is what you can do now: Check if the function is part of some Octave package Report a bug Implement the feature yourself Get commercial support 1 Overview. The development of Octave code can greatly be facilitated using Emacs with Octave mode, a major mode for editing Octave files which can e.g. automatically indent the code, do some of the typing (with Abbrev mode) and show keywords, comments, strings, etc. in different faces (with Font-lock mode on devices that support it). GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It is typically used for such problems as solving linear and nonlinear equations, numerical linear algebra, statistical analysis, and for performing other numerical experiments. This manual provides comprehensive documentation on how to install, run, use GNU Octave is included by default with most GNU/Linux distributions. The easiest way to experiment with it is to open its interactive int
