GNU Octave is a free software program designed for mathematical calculations and working with numerical data, similar to commercial tools used in science and engineering. It matters because it provides researchers, students, and engineers with a powerful tool for solving complex mathematical problems without requiring expensive paid software licenses.

GNU Octave [ˈɒktɪv] ist eine freie Software zur numerischen Lösung mathematischer Probleme, wie zum Beispiel Matrizenrechnung, Lösen von (Differential-)Gleichungssystemen, Integration etc. Berechnungen können in Octave mit einer Skriptsprache durchgeführt werden, die weitgehend zu dem proprietären Matlab und zum ebenfalls freien FreeMat kompatibel ist.
