Re: Octave in Universities

[Joshua Rigler]

Aside from using Octave for 90%+ of my own thesis work at the University 
of Colorado in Boulder, I have contributed to a project called CISM-DX. 
 This is a collection of analysis and visualization tools based heavily 
on Octave and OpenDX that is being developed as part of the NSF-funded 
Center for Integraged Space-weather Modeling (CISM).  I don't think it 
(CISM-DX) has been used extensively in a traditional class setting, but 
it has been used in CISM's annual "summer school", a crash course intro 
to applied space physics held each year at Boston University.  I 
wouldn't be surprised if others more familiar with CISM-DX are lurking 
about this list that could tell you more if they just spoke up.
