I teach GNU Octave Programming since 2005 to students in Environmental Sciences at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, www.epfl.ch). Each year, about 70 students learn to use this beautiful free environment for scientific computing and visualization (28 hours of lectures and labs). My course material is available under http://enacit1.epfl.ch/cours_matlab/ | |||

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. | ||

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.

UPDATED 2012 - Still using Octave as our main teaching tooletc as above, we have also looked at it as the controlling language for our Robotics class. | |||

I used Octave for a semester at my university, having two classes requiring to submit assignments done in MATLAB: ''Artificial Intelligence'' and ''Computer Vision''. Using the "matlab-incompatible" warning I am able to easily avoid incompatible syntax shorthands. | |||

I use Ocatve as a backend for part of my neuroimaging research at the ETH Zürich. Even if upstream writes their code mainly with MATLAB in mind, the benefits of Octave - especially concerning package manager integration and compilation are notable! | |||
Octave allowed me to set up a batteries-included SPM distribution for Gentoo Linux via the NeuroGentoo repository. | |||

Mote3D, an open-source toolbox for the generation of virtual random periodic particulate microstructures, was implemented using Octave. The toolbox was developed at German Aerospace Center (DLR) and is available at https://github.com/Mote3D/Mote3D_toolbox. | |||
