scientific programming language
Scientific programming language may refer to two related, yet distinct, concepts in computer programming. In a broad sense, it describes any programming language used extensively in computational science and computational mathematics, such as C, C++, Python, and Java. In a stricter sense, it designates languages that are designed and optimized for handling mathematical formulas and matrix operations, offering intrinsic support for these tasks.
