MATLAB is a programming language developed by The MathWorks. It started out as a matrix programming language where linear algebra programming was simple. It can be run both under interactive sessions as well as a batch job.
GNU Octave and LabVIEW MathScript are systems for numerical computations with an m-file script language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. Both alternatives can replace Matlab in many circumstances. While a good deal of the content of this book will also apply to both Octave and LabVIEW MathScript, it is not guaranteed to work in exactly the same manner. Differences and comparison between MATLAB and Octave are presented in Comparing Octave and MATLAB.
The book is a work in progress, and there may be incomplete or missing chapters.
