Matlab "clones" - Graphic interface?

[atferrari]

I am not into high level maths, but struggling with them from time to time when trying to solve some (for me) unusual problems.

Is it any of the so called "Matlab clones" available with GUI? Command line is something that would add an extra concern to my current difficulties.

I just would like to know about free software with user graphic interface. (I have the awful feeling that there is not...).

Thanks for any reply.

Ubuntu has a GUI for a Matlab clone called Octave.

A google search shows that there were a couple in development, but the only one still active is qtOctave: http://qtoctave.wordpress.com/

I haven't tried it, but the screenshots look ok.

This site looks like it gives a passable introduction (and recommends qtOctave)

Sorry but I have only Win XP.

Gracias anyway.

Octave runs on all major operating systems.

The link I pasted in my previous post also has instructions.
