Free alternatives to Matlab
Matlab is a programming and development language for advanced researchers, scientists and students under physics and mathematics fields. It can perform very complex tasks requiring high computing capacity.
With its great directory functions and tool boxes, it makes programming easier than other languages.
It is commonly use for:
* Mathematical esxpression and computation
*Algorithm development
*Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
*Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
*Scientific and engineering graphical layout
*Graphical User Interface building, for application developlment
