Name: Scilab

Description: Scilab is a scientific software package for numerical computations in a user-friendly environment. It features:
Elaborate data structures (polynomial, rational and string matrices, lists, multivariable linearsystems,...). Sophisticated interpreter and programming language with Matlab-like syntax. Hundreds of built-in math functions (new primitives can easily be added). 
Stunning graphics (2d, 3d, animation). Open structure (easy interfacing with Fortran and C via online dynamic link). 
And many built-in libraries: 

Linear Algebra (including sparse matrices, Kronecker form, ordered Schur,...). 
Control (Classical, LQG, H-infinity,...). 
Package for LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) optimization. 
Signal processing. 
Simulation (various ode''s, dassl,...). 
Optimization (differentiable and non-differentiable, LQ solver). 
Scicos, an interactive environment for modeling and simulation of dynamical systems. 
Metanet (network analysis and optimization). 
Symbolic capabilities through Maple interface
