GNU Octave

Preface

Using a range of very different examples, this beginner's guide will take you through the most important aspects of GNU Octave. The book starts by introducing how you work with mathematical objects like vectors and matrices, demonstrating how to perform simple arithmetic operations on these objects and explaining how to use some of the simple functionality that comes with GNU Octave, including plotting. It then goes on to show you how to extend and implement new functionality into GNU Octave, how to make a toolbox package to solve your specific problem, and how to use GNU Octave for complicated data analysis. Finally, it demonstrates how to optimize your code and link GNU Octave with C++ code enabling you to solve even the most computational ...
