GNU Octave is a powerful language designed to help you solve mathematical problems by running numerical computations. The language comes with a command line interface, and can be installed from source (latest version), or you can run the available binary installer.

Since GNU Octave is an open source project, its highly probable that you will not find the latest release as binary. In this case, you must either compile from source yourself, or make use of one of the three supported package managers: Fink, MacPorts, or HomeBrew.

Using the latter option is recommended, since the package managers will handle both the download and installation procedures. However, keep in mind that you must have any of the three utilities already installed on your Mac.

GNU Octave is able to handle both linear and non-linear algebra problems, such as finding the roots of an equation, handling polynomials, dealing with functions or differential equations.

The GNU Octave language is making use of modules developed in C, C++, Fortran and other popular programming languages, so you can extend its capabilities by writing your own functions. In fact, you can can develop your own applications based on the GNU Octave language.

To help you get started, GNU Octave comes with online instructions for the installation process, but the project also provides an extensive documentation that shows you what you can do within the language, ranging from simple examples to debugging and plotting graphical representations.

To conclude, the GNU Octave language provides extensive support for dealing with mathematical problems, and experimenting with numerical computations. GNU Octave can also generate extensive graphical representations, so you will be able to analyze the results from multiple points of view.
