-The GNU Octave [http://octave.sourceforge.net/interval/ interval package] provides data types and fundamental operations for real valued interval arithmetic based on the common floating-point format “binary64” a. k. a. double-precision.  It aims to be standard compliant with the (upcoming) [http://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/1788.html IEEE 1788] and therefore implements the ''set-based'' interval arithmetic flavor.  '''Interval arithmetic''' produces mathematically proven numerical results.
+The GNU Octave [http://octave.sourceforge.net/interval/ interval package] for real-valued interval arithmetic.
+The interval package provides data types and operations for
+verified computing.  It can be used to handle uncertainties, estimate
+arithmetic errors and produce reliable results.  Also it can help find
+guaranteed solutions to numerical problems.  Thanks to GNU MPFR many
+arithmetic operations are provided with best possible accuracy.  The
+implementation of intervals in inf-sup format is based on interval boundaries
+represented by binary64 numbers and is standard conforming to the
+(upcoming) standard for interval arithmetic
+[http://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/1788.html IEEE 1788].
