Matlab compatibility for university Numerical Analysis course

[Dotan Cohen]

I am taking a numerical analysis course at my university. We have been
recommended to use Matlab. Is Octave considered a viable alternative
for a university course? I understand that Octave is _mostly_ Matlab
compatible but I am not familiar enough with either Matlab or Octave
to make an informed decision.
