Scilab

Abstract

Developed at INRIA, Scilab has been developed for system control and signal processing applications. It is freely distributed in source code format (see the file notice.tex). Scilab is made of three distinct parts: an interpreter, libraries of functions (Scilab procedures) and libraries of Fortran and C routines. These routines (which, strictly speaking, do not belong to Scilab but are interactively called by the interpreter) are of independent interest and most of them are available through Netlib. A few of them have been slightly modified for better compatibility with Scilab's interpreter. A key feature of the Matlab syntax is its ability to handle matrices: basic matrix manipulations such as concatenation, extraction or transpose are immediately performed as well as basic operations such as addition or multiplication. For handling matrices, Scilab uses the Matlab syntax but Scilab also aims at handling more complex objects than numerical matrices. For instance, control people may want to manipulate rational or polynomial transfer matrices.
