I did everything in Octave. And it was a great learning experience.

Octave is very easy to learn if you have previous programming experience.

You won't _write_ programs a lot. There will be cookie-cutter code, and you will fill in some blanks. A line here a line there.

Trust me, Octave wasn’t a deal-breaker if you tried. And a lot of formulae were the code.
