** '''Octave or Matlab''': I started using Octave as an alternative to MATLAB, initially for my Engineering courses I mentioned above. However my grasp over Octave improved while using it for Andrew NG's Machine Learning course on Coursera. Later I also attempted to write a research paper (related to Audio Processing and Extreme Learning Machines) for which I had to use the source-forge octave package, which made me realize some of the shortcomings of the package, which I would like to improve. | ** '''Octave or Matlab''': I started using Octave as an alternative to MATLAB, initially for my Engineering courses I mentioned above.
