Scilab is a numerical computational package developed since 1990 by researchers from the INRIA and the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC). Since the creation of the Scilab consortium in May 2003, it is developed and maintained by the INRIA.[1]
Scilab is a high level, numerically oriented programming language. The language provides an interpreted programming environment, with matrices as the main data type. By utilizing matrix based computation, dynamic typing and automatic memory management, many numerical problems may be expressed in a reduced number of code lines. Rapidly construct models for a range of mathematical problems. Also provides a library of high level operations such as correlation and complex multidimensional arithmetic. The software can be used for signal processing, statistical analysis, image enhancement, fluid dynamics simulations and numerical optimization.[2][3] Scilab also includes a package called Scicos for modeling and simulation of explicit and implicit dynamical systems, including both continuous and discrete sub-systems.
As the syntax of Scilab is similar to MATLAB, Scilab includes a source code translator for assisting the conversion of code from MATLAB to Scilab. Scilab is available free of cost under an open source license. Due to the open source nature of the software, some user contributions have been integrated into the main program.
