Fundamental Chemistry with Octave

Description

Most developers today use the so called ‘ third-generation languages’ such as C, C++, Python, and Java. A third-generation language, a general purpose language in nature, gives the developer the kind of precise control needed to write exceptionally fast applications that can perform a wide array of tasks. Fourth-generation languages, like Matlab (short for Matrix Laboratory) or Octave (the free nearly equivalent platform), on the contrary, are designed with a specific purpose in mind, which in the case of Matlab/Octave, is scientific and technical computing. In this sense, it has been designed for empowering the user to work with heterogeneous collections of data, rather than individual variables, making it easier for the user to focus on the task, instead on the language.
