+GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
+computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving
+linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other
+numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with
+Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
