Rawlings of the University of Wisconsin-Madison -and John G.

Rawlings of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and John G. Ekerdt of the University of Texas.

Later, after seeing the limitations of that approach, we opted to attempt to build a much more flexible tool. -There were still some people who said -that we should just be using Fortran instead, -because it is the computer language of engineering, -but every time we had tried that, -the students spent far too much time trying to figure out -why their Fortran code failed -and not enough time learning about chemical engineering. -We believed that with an interactive environment like Octave, -most students would be able to pick up the basics quickly, -and begin using it confidently in just a few hours. +There were still some people who said that we should just be using Fortran instead, because it is the computer language of engineering, but every time we had tried that, the students spent far too much time trying to figure out why their Fortran code failed and not enough time learning about chemical engineering. We believed that with an interactive environment like Octave, most students would be able to pick up the basics quickly, and begin using it confidently in just a few hours. + +Full-time development began in the Spring of 1992. The first alpha release was January 4, 1993, and version 1.0 was released February 17, 1994. Since then, Octave has been through several major revisions, is included with Debian GNU/Linux and SuSE Linux distributions, and was reviewed in the in the July, 1997 issue of the Linux Journal. -Full-time development began in the Spring of 1992. -The first alpha release was January 4, 1993, -and version 1.0 was released February 17, 1994. -Since then, Octave has been through several major revisions, -is included with Debian GNU/Linux and SuSE Linux distributions, -and was reviewed in the in the July, 1997 issue of the Linux Journal. +Clearly, Octave is now much more than just another courseware package with limited utility beyond the classroom.
