Hi,

My name is Aidan Macdonald. I am a Computer Engineering/Physics 3rd year undergraduate at UC San Diego. I currently do Machine Learning research and development for Webroot. I have a strong interest in numerical methods and numerical optimization.

I would like to help in anyway. I have a personal vested interest in working on octave-control and octave-symbolic, so I would probably do better work there. What should I do to get started? For octave-control, I wanted to write a stepinfo function into octave-control.

Thank you,

Hi Aiden.   

   You have already passed the first step!!!   You have chosen a project!!!

We have a style that we insist on.  The Octave manual has some information about coding and documentation style:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Contributing-Guidelines.html

There is an octave wiki

Welcome to the teem and start working!!!!
