Scilab

Scilab is free and open source software for numerical computation providing a powerful computing environment for engineering and

scientific applications.

Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions. It has a high level programming language allowing access to advanced data

structures, 2-D and 3-D graphical functions.

#### Features

* Maths and Simulation for usual engineering and science applications including mathematical operations and data analysis.

* 2-D and 3-D Visualization graphics functions to visualize, annotate and export data and many ways to create and customize various types of plots and charts.

* Optimization algorithms to solve constrained and unconstrained continuous and discrete optimization problems.

* Statistics tools to perform data analysis and modeling.

* Control System Design and Analyse standard algorithms and tools for control system study.

* Signal Processing to visualize, analyze and filter signals in time and frequency domains.

* Application Development to increase Scilab native functionalities and manage data exchanges with external tools.

* Xcos - Hybrid dynamic systems modeler and simulator for modeling mechanical systems, hydraulic circuits, control systems...

#### Scilab as a platform

Thanks to its ability to interconnect with third-party technologies and applications, Scilab can also act as a

unique platform to bring together codes written in different programming languages in a single, unified

language, thus facilitating their distribution, their back-up and use.
