FOSSEE is the FREE and OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE FOR EDUCATION
It aims on providing software which can be used in academia field and industries for free.
This very useful as researchers, institutes and many small scale start-ups and industries need not worry on purchasing licenses of softwares they require as an opensource substitute of that software is present e.g. Matlab can be substituted by octave or scilab,
Photoshop can be substituted by GNU Image Manipulation Program, Illustrator can be substituted by Inkscape and so on.
Octave is a light and open source software useful for computation. It is easy as it uses almost the same programming structure as Matlab, the software which is most used in academia and industries. However when octave is downloaded and installed it give a command line interface and all the other packages e.g. signal processing, control, etc are not downloaded by default. One way to overcome this in Ubuntu (based distros) is :
sudo apt-get install $( apt-cache search octave-forge | awk '{printf $1; printf " " }' ) qtoctave
The text Highlighted in bold is simply a script to list all octave packages and qtoctave is a front end Graphical User Interface (GUI) that can be used instead of the command line interface.
