+* Scilab
+** About Scilab and Xcos
+
+Scilab is an easy-to-use, cross-platform, Free and Open Source
+numerical computational package with a matrix based programming
+language and a diverse inbuilt mathematical library.
+
+Xcos is a graphical dynamical system modeler and simulator. With Xcos
+the user can create block diagrams to model and simulate sophisticated
+dynamical systems such as those in signal processing, systems control,
+queuing systems, and to study physical, biological and various
+engineering systems.
+
+** List of Courses/Subjects/Areas where Scilab can be used
+
+ - Linear Algebra and Optimization
+ - Control System analysis and design
+ - Signal Processing
+ - Image and Video Processing
+ - Data analysis, regression, interpolation visualization and statistics
