Full-featured scientific package
SciLab provides a powerful computing environment for users involved in mathematics, science, optimization, statistics, and other industries involved in education and reference. This free and open-source software utilizes high-level programming language and hundreds of mathematical functions. This allows users to access advanced data structures, and 2D and 3D graphical functions. SciLab also includes Xcos. Users that are looking to create standard palettes and blocks, model building, model customization, and simulation can use the hybrid dynamic systems modeler and simulator. Overall, SciLab is for users that need to perform a numerical analysis, data visualization, Algos development, and app development. Users can share this with their local scientific community, as it is a free software under CeCILL license.
