Features: This book is an introductory textbook on the scientific computing free software SCILAB. The first three chapters introduce the SCILAB environment, SCILAB data types, operators, and some commonly used functions; SCILAB's programming language, script files, and function writing methods. Chapter 4 covers the visualization capabilities of SCILAB's computational results. Chapter 5 introduces the interface between SCILAB and C or FORTRAN programs. The last chapter lists application examples of SCILAB in the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering technology. In fact, after reading the first three chapters of this book, readers will basically be able to use SCILAB. Given the scarcity of current resources, it is hoped that this book will help a broad readership in learning, using, and participating in the development of SCILAB.
