:-When I took up the course on 'Basics of Signals and Systems' as a part of my college coursework, about an year ago, I was required to use MATLAB for coding assignments. I never wanted to use MATLAB under a student's license because I thought that this would land me in a very uncomfortable situation when I no longer would be a student. That was when, the open source enthusiast within me told me to go for GNU Octave. Since then, I have been using Octave as one of my primary languages, I use it for Signal processing and Machine Learning, as do some of my peers. | :-When I took up the course on 'Basics of Signals and Systems' as a part of my college coursework, about an year ago, I was required to use MATLAB for coding assignments.

As a GSoC student, I will be able to entirely dedicate my time in contributing to Octave and hopefully, I will end up making some noteworthy contributions that, not only are beneficial for the Octave community, but also make me feel like I did my duty to pay back to the software that has been helping me get through my academics. | ||
:-Also, if I end up making some noteworthy contributions, I would genuinely be able to brag to my peers who use Octave, that a small part of the software that they have been using has been written by me. | :-Also, if I end up making some noteworthy contributions, I would genuinely be able to brag to my peers who use Octave, that a small part of the software that they have been using has been written by me. | ||
