(J) MathLab

A multiplaform computational platform

About

jMatLab is a platform for mathematical and numerical computations. It is a clone of Matlab and Octave. Unlike Matlab, it is free. Unlike Octave, it runs on any platform where Java is installed. It can also run on the Web browser. The program can be used for:
  • Symbolic calculations (simplification, differentials, integration)
  • Numeric Evaluation of mathematical functions, special functions
  • Linear algebra with vectors and matrices
  • Displaying data, vectors, matrices and functions using 2D and 3D interactive plots
  • Saving data (vectors and matrices) in CSV files
  • Random numbers using the major distributions
  • Solving linear and non-linear equations and systems of equations
  • Basic statistical calculations and histogramming

Download

The program is a part of the DMelt computational environment. It is also included to the jPort portable desktop which can be started from a USB flash drive.

You can also use a light version of jMathLab here. To run it, click on the jar file (Windows) or run it as "java -jar jwork-jmathlab.jar" (Linux/Mac). One can also use jMathLab shell and execute Matlab/Octave M-files using command-line prompt. The program also runs on the Android platform (AWork).
