In computer programming, a scientific programming language is a programming language optimized for the use of mathematical formulas and matrices. Although these functions can be performed using any language, scientific programming languages provide both a syntax and a standard library that facilitates their use. Such languages include ALGOL, APL,[1] Fortran, J, Julia, Maple, MATLAB, Python and R.

In other fields, scientific language is loosely defined as being grammatically correct and giving concise and correct information.
