Scilab was designed to be a scientific software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications.Scilab is an open source software. Since 1994 it has been distributed freely along with the source code via the Internet. It is currently used in educational and industrial environments around the world. Scilab is now the responsibility of the Scilab Consortium, launched in May 2003. There are currently 25 members in Scilab Consortium. Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions with the possibility to add interactively programs from various languages (C, C++, Fortran). It has sophisticated data structures (including lists, polynomials, rational functions, linear systems...), an interpreter and a high level programming language. Scilab has been designed to be an open system where the user can define new data types and operations on these data types by using overloadingHere are some key features of \"Scilab\":
