Package: octave-doc (2.0.13-4)

Postscript documentation on the GNU Octave language

Octave is a (mostly Matlab (R) compatible) high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

Octave uses some of the best and most respected numerical libraries as balgen, dassl, eisspack, fftpack, lapack, linpack, minpack, odepack, ranlib, slatec-fn and villad. Octave can be dynamically extended with user-supplied C++ files.

This packages provides the following documentation in postscript format: the FAQ, a refcard in a4, letter and legal formats, a document on the C++ classes used by Octave, as well as the main octave documentation which is also included in info format in the main Octave package.
