may i know what is the CLOSEST alternative for matlab in linux?
thank you all

Mathematica?

It's incredibly expensive to buy a license, unless you're a student--then you can get it for under $100.
oh i forgot to tell, im looking for free ones.
A quick Google turned up "Sage":
http://www.sagemath.org/index.html
thanks, anybody used Sage?
There are several alternatives:
* Octave is very similar to Matlab. For everyday use
(without various toolboxes) Octave can be used as a
transparent replacement.
* SAGE is also great, but perhaps closer to Maple/Mathematica
in functionality than Matlab.
* Scilab has many features from Matlab/Mathematica.
* R is somewhat similar to Matlab, and is extremely
powerful for statistical computations.
* Python with Scipy extends the popular Python programming
language with scientific capabilities and toolboxes. It
has excellent plotting capabilities using the Matplotlib
package.
If you like to program and has a use for the large number
of extension libraries available in Python, I would definitely
choose Python/Scipy/etc. If you need a simple monolithic package
with linear algebra capabilities and syntax identical to
Matlab then use Octave.
try Scilab:
www.scilab.org
it is already in the repository of the 9.04 ubuntu release.
it has also a table of conversion from matlab to scilab and some emulated functions with the same matlab syntax.
best,
g.
Use Pylab with Scilab! It existed before matlab, has more functions, is free and the code is similar (e.g. ^2 is written **2 instead).
If you want a GUI for it, install Scite. Write the code, press F5, and the calculations are shown on the right side of the window.

Answear a post if you got time or if you just want to avoid doing something else...
Underestimated help just as this little friend.
Don't forget to close the threads once answered.
maxima is very good in symbolic mathematics

scilab, octave are good for numerical mathematics (similar to matlab)
