Octave
installation
instructions
Octave tutorials: How
to get started
(in pdf format); this consists of extracts from Introduction
to Octave (in pdf format)
Note: To view or print out pdf files, you may
need
the Adobe Acrobat reader, which you may download for free if you don't
have it yet by clicking here.
A
spreadsheet that can be used with Excel to
pivot matrices (in xls format) (I recommend
right-clicking on this link and saving it to your computer's hard
drive. Then, navigate to the directory where you saved it and
double click on ExcelPivot.xls). If this spreadsheet won't work
on
your computer, click
here for
instructions that might help you fix the problem.

Program "Rowop" with prompts to perform elementary row operations on
a matrix [A] on TI calculators:
TI 82 binary version (397
bytes); TI
82 text listing of program
TI 83 binary version (396
bytes); TI
83 text listing of program
TI 85 binary version (522
bytes); TI
85 text listing of program
Note: In the text listings, \->\ represents
the
STO-> key in the left column.
Note: To use the binary version of the program, you
will
first need to download it. To download it, right click the
appropriate
link and choose
"Save target as..." with Internet Explorer or "Save
link
as..." with Netscape. The downloaded file should have the
indicated
length. With some versions of Netscape, it may be corrupted and
have
a different length. In that case, please use Internet Explorer or click
here
to find another link that might enable you to download this file
properly.
If you have problems following these instructions, please send e-mail
to
arosenthal@salemstate.edu).
After being downloaded, the binary version of the program may be loaded directly into the TI calculator of the corresponding type, IF you have a "TI-GRAPH LINK" cable to connect your PC and the calculator and you use the appropriate "TI-GRAPH LINK" software available for free download at http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/sectionHome/download.html. There are "TI-GRAPH LINK" cables connected to several of the computers in the Math Lab which you may use in the Math Lab. The "TI-GRAPH LINK" software is already installed on some of the computers in the Math Lab. If you have trouble finding it, please ask for help.
A script (rowop.m) which you may use with
MATLAB
(in
the Math Lab) to pivot matrices. (This may be useful when
performing
Gaussian elimination or when using the simplex method).
Click here for instructions on how to
download
and use the script rowop.m, using the previous link.
A spreadsheet, rowop.xls, that will
perform
Gaussian elimination on most matrices up to 3x4
(To
use this, you might need to (1) save rowop.xls to your hard disk, by
right
clicking and using "Save target as" with Internet Explorer or using
"Save link target as" with Netscape and then (2) double click on
rowop.xls. After the first time, only step (2) will need to be
done.)
