  BOAT is a free cross-platform software for statistical data analysis and
numerical computing. Thanks to its multiple-precision floating point engine, it
allows arbitrary-precision calculations, whose digits of precision are only
limited by the amount of memory of the host machine. At the core of the
software is a simple and efficient expression language, whose use is
facilitated by the assisted typing, the auto-complete engine and the built-in
help for the syntax. In this paper a quick overview of the software is given.
Detailed information, together with its applications to some case studies, is
available at the BOAT web page.
