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是一种采用高级编程语言的主要用于数值分析的软件。Octave有助于以数值方式解决线性和非线性问题，并使用与MATLAB兼容的语言进行其他数值实验。它也可以作为面向批处理的语言使用。因为它是GNU計劃的一部分，所以它是GNU通用公共许可证条款下的自由软件。 Octave是MATLAB的主要自由替代品之一，其他还有Scilab和FreeMat。 然而，与Octave相比，Scilab更少强调与MATLAB的（双向）句法兼容性。
