Free alternatives to MATLAB for Windows

A free program runs much of the same code, and a statistics language is a strong option for data work.

Uses largely the same language, so many existing scripts run with few changes.

A better fit if your work is mainly statistics and data analysis.

What you give up

Simulink and many specialised toolboxes, which have no direct equal here.
