Octave and Gnuplot Coming To Android

Posted by Soulskill on from the for-all-your-mobile-steam-cycle-efficiency-needs dept.

New submitter MathIsTasty writes "Recently, it was announced on the Octave-maintainers list that a Kickstarter campaign has been launched to bring Matlab style numerical computations and graphing to Android via a 'more than' port of Octave and gnuplot. While I doubt it will be as successful as some recent games on Kickstarter, is this a reasonable way to fund free software development? Now, we just have to worry about people working on simulating solar irradiation while driving. Here is a good blog post about the project."

    To get your kickstarter project slashvertised? Is this ethical?
