+Scilab is an open source, cross-platform numerical computational
+package and a high-level, numerically oriented programming language.
+It can be used for signal processing, statistical analysis, image
+enhancement, fluid dynamics simulations, numerical optimization, and
+modeling and simulation of explicit and implicit dynamical systems.
+MATLAB code, which is similar in syntax, can be converted to Scilab.
+Scilab is one of several open source alternatives to MATLAB.
