pkg octave-atlas version 2.1.35-6
octave-atlas-2.1.35-6: Matlab-like language, with atlas libs
It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and
nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical
experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab.
It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
.
Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra
problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating ordinary
functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary differential
and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible and
customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own language,
or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran,
or other languages.
.
This version links the fast blas and lapack libs from the atlas package.
