    Scilab, is an opensource(Thus,Free) alternative to Matlab.It is as powerful as Matlab,as it is Opensource a user can create his/her own function & libraries too.

    Inshort,It is alternative to Matlab but Free (with Freedom to modify it,if you want to by adding your self-made functions & libraries).
    A great tool!

    Matlab includes Simulink which allows you to pick and place some of the most common blocks and simulate them as blocks

    Other is the Programmer (Dono its name) It allows you to write program for the simulation you wish to do

    Simulation is any thing which allows us to predict the op of the system without actually using hardware components

    PS: Some tutorials can help you a lot Here are a couple of them

    ya i know that square is also a rectangle....my doubt is then there is no reason to specially mention about the type of the matrices..
