Ebook Free Download | GNU Octave Beginner's Guide | My first pass at Octave was a few weeks ago, when I took a scattershot approach to learn just enough Octave to get some quick work done on a data analysis project. As soon as I heard about this book, I bought it and read it start to finish, with frequent expressions of "Oh, I wish I'd known that!" or "That would be a much cleaner way to do it." Hansen takes the user through the learning process in a step-by-step way, each step building on the one before it with just the right amount of new material to draw the reader along without feeling overwhelmed. Yes, you should know some math, but that's a prerequisite for using Octave in the first place. The examples are interesting enough to show the reader how to get real work done without a huge amount of effort. Hansen also highlights ways to make Octave scripts highly compatible with Matlab. Had I known these tips on my first project, my Matlab-user colleague would not have had to edit what I gave him to run my programs on his system. The biggest suggestion for improvement, which I have already passed along to Hansen, is to add some tips on reading data files not specifically created by or for Octave.Please give crackling and his advice to the progress of this web.
