GNU Octave mutauro wepamusoro-soro, wakanyanya kuitirwa kuverengera nhamba. Inopa yakaringana yekuraira mutsara interface yekugadzirisa mutsara uye isina mutsara matambudziko nenhamba, uye nekuita zvimwe zviedzo zvenhamba uchishandisa mutauro unonyanya kuenderana neMatlab. Inogonawo kushandiswa semutauro wakatarisana nebatch.

Octave ine maturusi akakura ekugadzirisa matambudziko akajairwa enhamba yealgebra, kutsvaga midzi yeasina mitsetse equation, kubatanidza mabasa akajairwa, kushandura mapolynomials, uye kubatanidza zvakajairika mutsauko uye mutsauko-algebraic equations. Inowedzerwa nyore uye inogoneka kuburikidza nemushandisi-akatsanangurwa mabasa akanyorwa mumutauro waOctave, kana kushandisa zvine simba akarodha mamodule akanyorwa muC ++, C, Fortran, kana mimwe mitauro.
