Re: Octave in Universities

[Christophe Prud'homme]

At EPFL, an association called poseidon (poseidon.epfl.ch),sponsored by the 
school, is pushing the use of free software and octave in particular.
Matlab is used in many courses and among them the numerical analysis courses 
taught by our chair. Poseidon has sponsored an effort to port one of our 
course to octave and the associated book (that will have the title 
"scientific computing with matlab and octave" by A. Quarteroni and F. 
Saleri). Next September we start using and supporting octave in our courses.
There are other similar initiative in the school.

Best regards,
C.

| Recently spoke with a college prof who was using Matlab (edu version).
| I mentioned he might consider using octave since it was open source.
| He asked if there are many universities using octave. I said I would
| check with the list.
| I was under the impression that there were numerous universities
| using octave.
|
| There may even be a list on the web of universities using octave.
|
| If you know anything about this information let me know.
