This is a short, easy-to-use introduction to SCILAB, a comprehensive software system. It contains brief explanations of Scilab commands, programming and graphing capabilities. This book is intended for beginning and experienced science and mathematics students. Coverage includes Scilab commands used in courses that involve calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, graphics and more.
Am about 3/4 the way through. It is a good, simple, introduction to a very complex bit of scientific computation. I needed something like scilab to do some calculations. This is the book to get it started.
