Hmm, I think that I barely mentioned that GNU Octave can be used through Sage. The reason for that is that the idea of suggesting something to be replaced with worse alternative is pretty hard to do. Say "you have that there, why not take this what is much worse instead?"
One thing what fascinated me and what is actually a great asset of Sage is that it tries not to be a MATLAB clone. So, all in all, I maybe barely mentioned that GNU Octave or even MATLAB can used through Sage. To the teacher and my tutor I mentioned it though. They were not much interested of that. Python interested them much more than Matlab coding. That said, my original thesis years ago was about GNU Octave to replace Matlab. However, for what purpose would serve to do a thesis where Matlab is found to be much superior to the alternative? So I never did it xD I made a thesis of Sage instead, which was interesting to say the least. You have done great job! I firmly believe Sage is superior to Matlab in higher education. Thanks of the suggestion anyway, much appreciated and when I lecture the teachers I shall show them (briefly) that they can do things with Sage in the same way as they have done in Matlab. tiistai, 16. lokakuuta 2012 20.12.39 UTC+3 kcrisman kirjoitti: > > > > Interesting, though unfortunately most of us won't have too many of that > language group under our belts :) > > I reply because I'm wondering whether you talked significantly about > Octave in your thesis, possibly including using Octave through the > notebook.
