Numerical Analysis

Numerical analysis or Scientific computing is the study of approximation techniques for numerically solving mathematical problems.

Scilab is based on methods of numerical computation:

• Data analysis
• Algorithm development
• Model

Available methods include:

• Interpolation and regression
• Differentiation and integration
• Linear systems of equations
• Fourier analysis
• Ordinary differential equations (ODEs)
• Matrix computation (determination of eigenvalues and singular values)
