I'm also teaching Octave in my courses, and I've developped my own
teaching material (but everything is in French) :
- introduction to Octave and MATLAB : http://enacit1.epfl.ch/cours_matlab/
(some chapters, not completely finished and still in work these days
like graphics, will be on-line in 1 mounth)
- exercices are not (yet) on-line
I'm using the Windows Octave-Forge "octave-2.1.42-windows-atlas.exe"
from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888 :
very easy to install (but a little bit old), including : Octave-Forge
extensions, Cygwin, gnuplot, EpsTk, ATLAS, SuperLU.

I know a bit about the history of Octave, and if I’m not mistaken,
several faculty have taught courses using Octave. I will be teaching a
course called Engineering Analysis in the fall, and I am thinking
about basing the course on Octave. The course is for junior level
engineers from mechanical, electrical, and related disciplines.
A few questions:
1. Is there anything published about your experience or the experience
of others in using Octave as the computational basis for a course?
There are countless books based upon MATLAB, MathCAD, etc.
2. Is the Octave documentation adequate for undergraduate engineers? I
am concerned about having the course devolve into a software tutorial,
and like most small college programs, we do not have teaching assistants.
3. Any advice as to whether (or how) I should do this?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
