Thank you for your contribution 🙂  I reviewed your patch (little

I totally agree with your observation, it should be easy to find Octave using
the term "math".  For the KDE software center on openSUSE 15.2 this is the
case.

In my opinion "mathematical" and "numerical" are redundant in this short
sentence.  Was it enough to mention "math" somewhere in the long description? 
Is there any documentation about what is necessary for discovery?

A second point is that there are almost two identical files "/octave.doap" and
"/etc/icons/org.octave.Octave.appdata.xml".  Do you have information about
which one is used by your Linux distribution?  In any case changes should be
made to both files.
