Textbook in PDF format

Octave is a high-level language, intended primarily for numerical calculations. This language provides capabilities for numerical resolution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical tests. It also provides extensive graphical capabilities for data visualization and manipulation.
Octave is normally used through its interactive command line interface, but it can also be used to write noninteractive programs. The Octave programming language is quite similar to MatLAB, so most programs are reusable in this language.
In this course we are going to see different aspects of this programming language that will help us strengthen certain concepts about Octave
