EPTSo I was wondering if around here also uses it!
And perhaps, are there any experts?
=)
Well discuss!

damn... so far it's not that bad. I fell asleep in one of the lectures that had to do with the project due so I need to review it. So I have no idea haha I'm on Matrices and vectors btw... | ||

 btw there is a really good freeware alternative program for matlab called scilab. i used that at university for excerices at home. the syntax is the same and i never found out where the difference in the amount of functionality is. so if you wanna try it just go to http://www.scilab.org/ . | ||

I had to learn to use it for my Electronics Degree and it is annoying to use for complex sums. On the plus side if you've done just a bit of programming you can pick it up very fast and it becomes useful later on for checking other work (as cba pointed out). There are other programs on the market that you might be interested in. If you can get hold of a copy of Mathematica *somehow* I would, it's a far superior piece of software: http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/index.html | ||

It is for windows linux and mac and there's a very big community around it. I have some knowledge of Octave since I've used it in the first year at cs career. | ||

its very simple since it doesnt require stat or end commands, you wont have a hard time using it | ||

There is at least one free CAS available called Maxima. Mathematica can't do integrals reasonably. Once I tried it for an integral whose solution was basically an arctangent; it took five minutes and gave an unreadable answer in terms of special functions. | ||

MATLAB is a very nice and beginner friendly program. You can do alot of fairly advanced calculations with it. Been a while since I used it however since they forced me to switch to fortran programming for my summer project. IMO the best thing about MATLAB is the huuuge help files, learn to master those and you can do more or less whatever you want | ||
