"GNU Octave is the best option for performing mathematical calculations."
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

GNU Octave is a work tool with multiple advantages, mentioning that it is free and does not require a high-spec machine to be installed. With this software, I have managed to perform a large amount of work in the field of mathematics with advanced calculations. The vector part, handling of graphs, among other things, are very easy. I recommend this program as it is very intuitive, free, and has great reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

I just have to mention that the interface part is not very user-friendly with programs like MATLAB, and besides that, not all functions or commands in the two software are complementary. However, that doesn't stop it from being a great tool for mathematical calculations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent software for performing complex and advanced numerical analysis"
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

I have used this tool for a long time, largely because the CPU requirements are not very high and the results it offers are of high quality. It is a great help for conducting professional research because it can solve advanced numerical calculations. The graphical results it offers are very visually pleasing, considering that it is free software and the programming language is intuitive and simple to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

Being free software, it lacks other graphical features like those of MATLAB, and the interface may seem strange to some who have no experience with MATLAB. Even so, it is a great tool that delivers powerful results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free software that provides the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems"
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

The best thing about GNU Octave is that it is written in C++ using the STL library, and its language can be extended with functions and procedures through dynamic modules. It runs on Unix platforms and also on Windows, and we can load files with Matlab functions.

It also provides extensive graphical capabilities for data visualization and manipulation, acts as a command shell, and can create graphics to later print or save them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

So far, nothing negative to say about this software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best interface with commands to solve both linear and nonlinear numerical problems."
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

With tools for solving common numerical problems in linear algebra, root finding of nonlinear equations, integration of ordinary functions, polynomial manipulation, integration of algebraic differential equations, and graph generation, which is very appealing to anyone using this software.

Its fundamental data is the matrix; it integrates compatibility with complex numbers and includes a powerful and extensive library of mathematical functions, which can be extended through user-defined functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

I haven't found anything that I dislike because, being free, it has many benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Benefits of GNU Octave"
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

Quickly helps in solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

Doesn’t support on Windows 10 & 8. It would be better if in future it supports latest Windows OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for analyzing mathematical functions"
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

The GNU Octave program is a free alternative to MATLAB. It offers mathematical functions that are similar to those offered by Matlab but in a more intuitive and free manner.

The programming language used by Octave is similar to Matlab, which has powerful functions that can be used to perform multiple professional-level tasks and complex mathematical operations. It works on platforms with multiple operating systems: Linux, Mac, and Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

Without many things to complain about Octave, which is a free program with great features, but it is mentioned that the graphical interface is not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A free software that allows us to work with matrices and provides us with incredible functionality."
What do you like best about GNU Octave?

The incredible thing about this software is that we can use it on platforms like Unix, Linux, and Windows without any problem. It is not heavy, nor does it require major specifications to use it. It is written in C++ using the STL library, and it can extend its language with functions through modules, as well as supporting most of the functions of the C standard library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GNU Octave?

Nothing negative to say about this incredible and lightweight software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
