Octave is installed in the server "pandora" at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if some else apart of me is aware of this. Sad thou. | Octave is installed in the server "pandora" at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if some else apart of me is aware of this. Sad thou. | ||

Aside from using Octave for 90%+ of my own thesis work at the University of Colorado in Boulder, I have contributed to a project called CISM-DX. This is a collection of analysis and visualization tools based heavily on Octave and OpenDX? that is being developed as part of the NSF-funded Center for Integraged Space-weather Modeling (CISM). I don't think it (CISM-DX) has been used extensively in a traditional class setting, but it has been used in CISM's annual "summer school", a crash course intro to applied space physics held each year at Boston University. I wouldn't be surprised if others more familiar with CISM-DX are lurking about this list that could tell you more if they just spoke up. | Aside from using Octave for 90%+ of my own thesis work at the University of Colorado in Boulder, I have contributed to a project called CISM-DX.

We have just swapped our main Undergraduate teaching from Matlab to Octave with little problem. We also distribute a Live CD with Octave on, + an embryonic web based calculation package using Octave as the backend processor, See http://www-mdp.eng.cam.ac.uk, for further details and a slightly buggy on-line version. | We have just swapped our main Undergraduate teaching from Matlab to Octave with little problem.
