MATLAB Alternatives

MATLAB is described as 'Interactive environment for numerical computation, data analysis, algorithm development, matrix operations, data visualization, and toolboxes for specialized mathematical functions' and is a very popular programming language in the development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to MATLAB for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and BSD apps. The best MATLAB alternative is GNU Octave, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like MATLAB are Scilab, R (programming language), SciPy and Julia.

filter to find the best alternatives

MATLAB alternatives are mainly Numerical Computation Software, but if you're looking for Calculators or Programming Languages you can filter on that. Other popular filters include Open Source, Linux, Android, iPad, Free, Mac and Android + Free. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to MATLAB.
