GNU Octave ndi chilankhulo chapamwamba kwambiri, chomwe chimapangidwira powerengera manambala. Imakhala ndi mawonekedwe osavuta a mzere wolamula kuti athe kuthana ndi mavuto amzere komanso osatsata manambala, komanso kuyesanso manambala ena pogwiritsa ntchito chilankhulo chomwe chimagwirizana kwambiri ndi Matlab. Itha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chilankhulo chokhazikika pamagulu.

Octave ili ndi zida zambiri zothanirana ndi zovuta zodziwika bwino zama algebra zama manambala, kupeza magwero a ma equation osagwirizana, kuphatikiza ntchito wamba, kuwongolera ma polynomials, ndikuphatikiza ma equation wamba ndi masiyanidwe a algebra. Imakulitsidwa mosavuta komanso kusinthidwa mwamakonda pogwiritsa ntchito zomwe ogwiritsa ntchito amalemba m'chilankhulo cha Octave, kapena kugwiritsa ntchito ma module odzaza kwambiri olembedwa mu C ++, C, Fortran, kapena zilankhulo zina.
