Scientific language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computer programming, a scientific language is a programming language optimized for the use of mathematical formulas and matrices. (Though these functions can be performed using any language, they are more easily expressed in scientific languages.) Scientific languages include ALGOL, FORTRAN, and APL.
