and a number of other toolboxes.
The latest stable version of ScicosLab is ScicosLab 4.4.2.
It is possible that Scilab/Scicos is currently the most complete alternative to commercial packages for
dynamic systems
In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a p ...
