Octave was originally intended to be companion software for an undergraduate-level textbook
on chemical reactor design being written by James B. Rawlings of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison and John G. Ekerdt of the University of Texas.
Clearly, Octave is now much more than just another ‘courseware’ package with limited
utility beyond the classroom. Although our initial goals were somewhat vague, we knew
that we wanted to create something that would enable students to solve realistic problems,
and that they could use for many things other than chemical reactor design problems. We
find that most students pick up the basics of Octave quickly, and are using it confidently in
just a few hours. |
