Course content

2 sections • 7 lectures • 38m total length

  • Why learn Octave and why OctaveOnline?6:40

    Learn why octave online provides a free, install-free way to practice Matlab programming and simulate Matlab functions, comparing octave online with the desktop Matlab experience.

  • Website, logging in, and the layout7:18

    Explore the octave online web interface, logging in, and its three-pane layout with variables, command prompt, and main console; perform basic math, create vectors, plot results, and adjust themes.

  • Writing code in scripts5:31

    Explore octave online: observe workspace variables. Create and save scripts, then run them from the editor or console after logging in, enabling scripting and functions.

  • Application: for loops5:35

    Demonstrate using Octave online with a for loop to plot two functions, x squared and x cubed with noise, and create a movie that evolves over time.

  • Application: nonlinear function minimization9:53

    Define a function handle in octave online, plot the function, and use unconstrained minimization to locate the local minimum near a starting value, then mark the solution on the graph.

  • Real-time Octave-online sharing3:11

    Learn how real-time sharing in octave online enables two-way collaboration via a shareable link and an incognito window, letting you see live updates across devices.

Requirements

  • Interest in learning MATLAB programming

Description

Do you need to learn MATLAB but don't have a license? Is your computer too space-limited to install >2GB programs? Then this course might be right for you. You will learn how to use Octave-online as a tool for learning the MATLAB programming language. Octave is a free cross-platform numerical processing software that interprets almost all MATLAB code (and code from many other programming languages). Therefore, people often use it as a way to learn and use MATLAB even if they don’t have access to MATLAB.

But most people install Octave locally on their computer. That’s fine, of course. But there are times when you want to use a program without having to install it. That’s the neat part of Octave-online: You don't need to download or install anything! All you need is a browser and an internet connection. And I assume you have that if you’re reading this text ;)

Please note that this is not a course on programming; this is a course on using an online tool that will help you learn MATLAB programming. That means you won’t learn how to program in MATLAB here; you will learn about a free tool that you can use to help you learn MATLAB.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in learning MATLAB, but doesn't have MATLAB installed
