Apart from the videos (which i hope help a bit) i m trying to put some order to 
my material and complete it, the result ll be something like 50-70 pages with 
Intro to octave, and applications from math n physics. The case studies it ll 
have are 0) Introduction to numerical methods (scattered), 1) simple population 
model (Hassel map??), 2) forest fire (cellular automata), 3) Lienard systems (a 
brief study of van der Pol using Octave lsode) 4) and 2d Poisson equation with 
Dirichlet boundary conditions (and the proper way to assembly stiffness matrix 
in matrix oriented language). I ll try to follow Octave style guidelines so 
that people (myself as well) learn easier how to contribute. Hope that this ll 
help some. Btw only Octave programming and applications ll be covered, not 
Octave internals, no mex, no .... ;D.
