[O] Experiences with G.Strang: Intro to Linear Algebra?

[Wolfgang Lindner]

Dear list,

I think about using Octave to teach parts of G.Strang's: Introduction to Linear 
Algebra. There is MatLAB code to implement some procedures of the book at: 
http://web.mit.edu/18.06/www

Here are my questions:
- Has someone experiences in using Octave instead of MatLAB with that book?
- Has someone already ported (Moler's) teaching code to Octave?
  (if that should be necessary at all, I can't foresee it at the moment,
   because I'm a beginner in octave.)

It would be nice if I could get some recommendations or some advice.

Yours sincerely
Wolfgang
