O-Matrix is a reasonably priced,($95) object-oriented analysis and visualization
tool for the PC that uses a simple interpreted language that operates on
matrices instead of individual numbers.

Features:
- Diverse set of built-in functions including:
Algebraic and trigonometric functions, interpolation, FFTs,
inverse FFTs and 2D FFTs, QR factorization, Bessel functions,
singular value decomposition, sorting, random number generation
- Comprehensive graphics including:
x-y plots with multiple viewports, contour plots, mesh plots,
polar plotting, histograms, bar plots, stair plots, error plots,
mouse manipulation of plotted data, and publication quality output
- Extensive library of functions including:
wavelets ,spectral analysis, Kalman filter, normal distributions,
circuit simulator, circuit optimizer, signal processing,
splines, optimization, two-dimensional integration, convolution,
auto-regressive correlation, special functions, Cholesky factorization,
spectral estimation, differential equation solvers,
F-test, t-test, means, medians, eigenvalue solver,
matrix exponentiation, discrete prolate spheroidal sequences,
GPS tracking functions ...
- Built in debugger with extensive error messages
- Extensive on-line help, and free technical support by phone, fax, and e-mail
- 32-bit implementation allows matrices and programs up to 32 MB.
- An optimized environment for execution throughtput faster than other
"matrix" languages.
- User-definable functions with variable numbers of arguments and recursion
- Six matrix types including character, integer, real, double-precision,
logical, and complex double-precision
