Abstract
Octave for Mac OS X can be downloaded from the GNU webpage http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html. Select Octave.app for Mac OS X and with regard to your processor choose the ocatve-3.2.X-i386.dmg (for Macs newer than 2006 based on Intel processors) or octave-3.2.X-ppc.dmg (for older Macs before 2006 based on Power PC processors). Open the downloaded dmg-package with a double click and drag the icon “Octave” from the open window to the icon “Applications”. That will install Octave. The sample programs in this book require Gnuplot and additional packages.
