Product Description

The GAUSS Mathematical and Statistical System is a fast matrix programming language widely used by scientists, engineers, statisticians, biometricians, econometricians, and financial analysts.

Designed for computationally intensive tasks, the GAUSS system is ideally suited for the researcher who does not have the time required to develop programs in C or FORTRAN but finds that most statistical or mathematical "packages" are not flexible or powerful enough to perform complicated analysis or to work on large problems.

GAUSS runs on many different platforms.

GAUSS for Windows has a powerful editor with syntax highlighting, support for structures in the language, an improved matrix editor, float-over watch in the debugger, and new tools for file browsing and library management.

The Language

As a complete programming language, the GAUSS system is both flexible and powerful. Immediately available to the GAUSS user is a wide variety of statistical, mathematical and matrix handling routines.

GAUSS can be used in either interactively for short one-off commands or by creating large programs consisting of several files and libraries of functions, or anything in between.

GAUSS has over 400 functions built in, including LINPACK, EISPACK and BLAS routines. In addition you can add your own functions to this library.

Powerful data handling capabilities including a data loop allow transformations in a data set by directly using variable names in expressions. This greatly simplifies data transformations and makes for shorter more readable programs.

GAUSS supports complex numbers. You don't have to keep track of the real and imaginary parts of a matrix. Complex numbers are handled automatically, greatly simplifying program development.

Graphics

The GAUSS system includes complete high resolution 2D and 3D Publication Quality Graphics. You can create XY plots, polar plots, bar charts, histograms, surface plots, XYZ plots; polar, log and box graphs. Graphs can be placed in individual overlapping or tiled windows on a single page. There is hard copy support for most printers and plotters including PostScript^TM.

SYSTEMS TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

GAUSS for Windows
The latest addition to the GAUSS family. Now you can have the power of 32-bit GAUSS on your PC in a multitasking - windowing environment.

GAUSS for UNIX Workstations
Currently available for IBM RS6000, HP Apollo 9000, DEC Alpha, Sun SPARC, Sun Solaris for x86, and now Linux, GAUSS for UNIX combines the computational power of GAUSS with the advanced capabilities of the UNIX X-Windows computing environment.

* Matrix size and workspace are usually dependent on hardware, and operating system limits. Could be up to 2GB.
