    Divan
    Octave is a free open-source software that can be used for numerical linear algebra, nonlinear equations, integration, signal processing, image processing, and more. It allows users to save and load workspaces, plot graphs, write scripts, and generate complex plots for tasks like control theory simulations. Examples shown include solving a system of equations, adding noise to a signal, and creating interesting 3D surface plots.

    Saving, Loading and Graphics


    Save the workspace
    octave:10>save test
    octave:11>clear
    octave:12>who

    Loading a previously saved workspace


    octave:13>load test
    octave:14>who
    *** local user variables:
    C

    oct_home

    Plotting a sequence of numbers and annotating it


    octave:16>for k=1:20;d(k)=sin(2*pi*k/20);end
    octave:17>plot(d)
    octave:18>xlabel("x text");ylabel("y text"); # Actually MATLAB syntax
    octave:19>replot
    octave:20>gset xlabel "xlabel"; gset ylabel "ylabel"; # Normal Octave syntax
    octave:21>replot

    Example 1: Basic Problem Solving


    Simple linear algebra problem: 3 ind. equations in 3 unk.
    x1-12x2-4x3=-5; -20x1+3x2-5x3=-119; -14x1-3x2-17x3=-53
    This can be represented using the matrix equation Ax=b
    Using Octave, this can be solved as follows:
    octave:48>A=[1 -12 -4;-20 3 -5; -14 -3 -17]
    A=
    1 -12 -4
    -20 3 -5
    -14 -3 -17
    octave:49>b=[-5;-119;-53]
    b=
    -5
    -119
    -53
    octave:50>A\b
    ans =
    7.0000
    2.0000
    -3.0000

    Example 2: Basic Signal Processing


    Define a basic sine wave; x(k)=3sin(2 k/10) as
    k=1,2,3...256; Type
    octave:51>for k=1:256;s(k)=cos(2*pi*k/10);end

    Generate some Gaussian noise


    octave:52>n=2*randn(256,1);

    Add it to the signal


    octave:54>x=s+n;

    Take the magnitude of the Fourier transform of the time


    series
    octave:55>p=abs(fft(x));

    Plot the result


    octave:56>plot(p)

    Resulting Plot

    Example 3: Editing a script


    Create a basic text file, a few comment lines (#) to start
    Add a string of commands legal Octave commands
    Save the file somewhere on the Octave LOADPATH
    (type "path" at the prompt) with a .m suffix, like
    testum.m
    Type "testum" at the prompt, the commands will execute
    Type "help testum", the first comment lines will display
    octave:22>testum
    a=7
    b=3
    ans = 21
    octave:23>help testum
    testum is the file: C:/doc/misc/expopres/testum.m
    This is a text file; This might a message I want to see quickly
    if I need to remind myself of the contents of this file later on.

    Example 4: Some Interesting Plots


    clg
    domain = [-3:0.2:3];
    range = [-5:0.2:5];
    [x,y] =
    meshgrid(domain,domain);
    r = sqrt(x.^2 + y.^2) +
    0.00001;
    z = sin(pi*r)./(pi*r);
    title('Sombrero')
    mesh(z)
    pause

    clg
    t = range;
    s = sinc(t);
    s2 = s'*s;
    mesh(t,t,s2)
    pause
    clg
    c = cos(t);
    c2 = c'*c;
    mesh(t,t,c2)
    pause
    contour(c2)
    pause

    clg
    sq = t.^2;
    sq2 = sq'*sq;
    mesh(t,t,sq2)
    pause
    clg
    mesh(t,t,1-sq2)
    pause
    S = fft(log(t));
    clg
    plot(S)
    pause
    clg
    t = 0.1:0.1:100;
    polar(t,t.*log(t))

    Conclusion
    Octave is an accessible, easy to use
    numerical computation utility that can
    span the uses of the high school level to
    that of the complex tool needed by
    engineers
    We've shown how to start from scratch,
    assemble the utilities necessary to set up
    this powerful tool on your home
    computer
