Very nice program this Scilab. I have always liked it
but found the documentation much to obtuse to learn. I
am happy to see that a book has finally been published
about the application of Scilab to solving problems in
science and engineering. I am interested in a practical
tutorial like introduction to the program with liberally
commented and with plenty of examples. Is the new Scilab
book like this? If so I will order it right away.
Meanwhile I just built a Dual Pentium II (350 Mhz) linux
box with kernel 2.2.13 and I must say the the parallel
version of scilab (Scilab//) is stunningly fast! Great
work guys!

Estoy empezando a conocer a Scilab con miras a utilizarlo como herramienta en mis estudios de doctorado en Ingeniería de Telecomunicaciones. Hasta ahora la experiencia es grata a un costo sin par. Buen trabajo.

An excellent package. Extremely useful for my electrial
engineering studies. An equal to matlab in performance
and far superior in price. Can't beat free!!!

Soy estudiante de ingenieria y utilizo Scilab para la simulacion en metodos numericos y regulacion
automatica sustituyendo el Matlab de la universidad por el Scilab. Y los resultados
son practicamente los mismos.
