Octave for Signal Processing: First Impressions from an Engineering Professor

[@davidhamer8333]

I used Matlab for years in my job. I;m now retired and find Octave very similar and a great product. Thanks to all who have made it so great,

10years ago graduated Signal processing major computer engineer feels Octave like c++ (grammar like emulator simulator) , I wanna contribute for previous projects,right now I have simmulink matlab python Octave all , messy, but I try get my skill and memory back,thanks everyone contributing this GNU project from 1988

This is the first I’ve heard of Octave. I think I’ll try it out. I’m trying to learn more about Control Theory, but I’m broke, so I didn’t want to pony up the cash for the home version of MatLab. I’ll check out some of your older videos too. Thanks.

GNU/Octave does all the functionality of matlab but in a different way, so for a user accustomed to that environment he will find similarities but also profound differences, which sometimes make his demonstration script not working. Personally I prefer Octave for its scalability and portability so much so that I can compile it on Linux as well as on BSD or Minix which is useful to me since I also have a BSD system in production. If the user is used to using software of this type with a minimum of application he will be able to carry out his operations perhaps by installing the necessary packages via the internal package manager. However, it is a video that is always enjoyed listening to, but it is still right to talk about it because they are useful software for different fields.

we use octave it’s fun I was wondering why not matlab and now I know thanks

Octave has evolved into a nice environment for mathematical computation. However its user base is shrinking, as most newcomers use python with NumPy/SciPy instead.

[@AdamNoel]

That's a good point, especially for anyone starting out and impartial to the platform they use.

[@RonLWilson]

Cool! Do they have something akin to Simulink?

[@AdamNoel]

I haven't tried it, but there's a package that links Octave to Scilab that is meant to achieve this. Check out: wiki.octave.org/Sci_cosim

[@RonLWilson]

Cool! I will have to check that out! Thanks!@@AdamNoel

У Octave есть подобие Simulink?

[@anshorikasri4]

how to integrate octave to github? can we make source control in octave? thanks 🙂

[@AdamNoel]

I'm not aware of any such integration but it's not something that I've looked in to.

[@Dudlykoo]

I also care about this question, if IP from China is banned by GitHub, it’s a loss to really wanna contribution and reading the coding rules now

Octave is great until you discover that some basic matlab code does not run as they renamed functions. Very dumb.

[@AdamNoel]

Sounds like I got lucky then!

My experience is about 5-10 years old. If they fixed it then I would be a fan.@@AdamNoel
