Claude Gomez, Carey Bunks, Jean-Philippe Chancellier. Engineering and Scientific Computing with Scilab

New York:Springer-Science+Business Media, 1999. - 504 p.
Scilab is a scientific software package that provides a powerful open computing
environment for engineering and scientific applications. Distributed
freely via the Internet since 1994, Scilab is currently being used in educational
and industrial environments around the world.
This book contains all the information needed to master Scilab: how to
use it interactively as a super calculator, how to write programs, how to develop
complex applications, and more. The authors, Carey Bunks (BBN1),
Jean-Philippe Chancelier (ENPC2), Fran~ois Delebecque, Claude Gomez,
Maurice Goursat, Ramine Nikoukhah, and Serge Steer (INRlA3), have not
only been involved in the development of Scilab, but have used it for teaching
and industrial applications for many years. A CD-ROM, containing the
entire Scilab soUrce code as well as a set of precompiled binary executables
for a variety of computing platforms, is included with this book.
