Wofai, Chinagorom, Apebo, This is my answer to your three very similar questions: The most striking advantage is that Scilab is free (in both senses) and open source, and this goes along with a superb support system where many users and even developers can help you with almost no delay. You can easily report and discuss bugs, propose new features or improvements with the confidence that if your proposal is reasonble and interesting, you'll be heard. And if you are knowledgeable at application programming, you can even become a developer. You'll never have this opportunity in Matlab without becoming an employee and signing heavily restrictive non-disclosure agreements. You'll never experience with Scilab what many of former Matlab users have suffered or will eventually suffer: a nasty notice that the license is about to expire. Another valuable feature is how it handles strings. In Matlab a string is an ASCII vector, so you can compare "hello" with "world" to conclude they are different but you cannot compare "hello" with "Lucy" because in this case they are vectors of different length and you get an error message. In Scilab you can compare a word with a novel since both are scalar strings, a type in its own right. There are many other advantages, such as being natively multi platform. Discovering them is fun, I promise. Regards, Federico Miyara On 13/11/2019 07:46, Wofai Ewa wrote:

Hello,

I guess that it might also be an exam about how to create a robot
creating an account and spamming a test target. Best, PS: IMHO, the best way to deter such practice is to shortly and massively answer in private to such mails.

Hi All, My sincere apologies for the seeming spam message. We (Post Graduate Students) have just been enrolled into a 5-day SciLab Training Workshop at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, facilitated by Prof. S. O. Enibe, who asked us to get subscribed and also seek answers from the SciLab community. Hence the messages and questions. However, I commend those who are cautious about the possibility of spamming, and should retain such caution, going forward. Many thanks and best regards, Wofai PS Thanks Federico, for your brilliant feedback. ________________________________________________________________ P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

Hello,

O. Enibe Much clearer now. Sorry for having suspecting you and your classmates. Generally, you can have most answers looking at help.scilab.org Solving an ordinary differential equation? Looke at the ode() (type "ode" in the search bar) Solving a quadratic equation : there are several ways but you might look at root() (which is designed to find root of a polynomial). Differences between Sci- and Mat-lab? Go back to the home page of the online help, click on "Wiki" then select From "Matlab to Scilab" Or browse the Mailing list archives Also, do not hesitate to go at the scilab.org page and click on "Tutorials" Regards -- Christophe Dang Ngoc Chan Mechanical calculation engineer General This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
