Interface to Octave

Octave is an open source MATLAB-like program with numerical routines for integrating, solving systems of equations, special functions, and solving (numerically) differential equations. Please see http://octave.sourceforge.net for more details.

The commands in this section only work if you have the optional "octave" interpreter installed and available in your PATH. It's not necessary to install any special Sage packages.

sage: octave.eval('2+2')
'ans = 4'

sage: a = octave(10)
sage: a**10
1e+10
