What is GAUSS?

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.

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 command mode (interactively) or in edit mode. In command mode one-line commands, or small screen-resident programs, are issued and the results of calculations seen immediately. In edit mode you can write complex programs and store them in files.

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.

GAUSS programs can be compiled and saved to disk. These compiled files can then be run under the appropriate (optional) Run-Time Module to create stand-alone applications.

The Graphics

The GAUSS system includes complete high resolution 2D and 3D Publication Quality Graphics. Praised by users and reviewers alike, GAUSS' graphics provide comprehensive data visualization capabilities.

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 no limit to the number of graphs that you can combine, and no cutting or pasting is required.

Hard copy support for most printers and plotters including Post Script^TM .
