Task: Numerical Computation
Description: Debian Science Numerical Computation packages
 This metapackage will install Debian Science packages useful for
 numerical computation. The packages provide an array oriented
 calculation and visualisation system for scientific computing and
 data analysis. These packages are similar to commercial systems such
 as Matlab and IDL.


Depends: octave | octave3.0 | octave3.2
