* | * I have always found software like Octave very useful in my studies. I have been using it to prepare proof of concept for my numerical analysis and data compression subjects. To be able to contribute directly, and help solve issues here is something that I believe I can do. Going through the problem statements, I realized that I have a very lucrative opportunity to learn something I love, and at the same time help the community. | ||
