-I followed the Instructions "Read this first!!" For acquiring a copy of Octave.  I just copied it to my flash drive from a computer lab pc.
-I played around with Octave as instructed, But I still don't understand it very well.  I plotted a couple graphs, but I don't understand the proper syntax format for Octave,  I got many syntax errors because I'm not familiar with the symbols and code for entering functions and commands.
-If I enter:
-y=x;
-plot (x,y)
-then it plots the graph of y=x.
-But when I enter:
-y=x^2;
-plot (x,y)
-it says: error: For A^B, A must be square.
-I'm confused, but Hopefully I'll figure out more in the future.
-I spent 1 hour installing this program and trying to figure it out.
-David
