If the OP was able to run his homework files just by monkeypatching a few classes, I think that shows requiring Matlab for the assignment was massive overkill.

If the OP was able to run his homework files just by monkeypatching a few classes, I think that shows requiring Matlab for the assignment was massive overkill. Unless you're using the toolboxes (which they weren't), what does Matlab give you that you can't get in free language?
- RodericDay 13y agoI'm in engineering and only at the very very end on some "advanced" Control Systems classes did we even touch the toolboxes. Everything else, from Numerical Methods to Vibrations to lab report creation would've been handled by IPython and pylab much better. I envy upcoming generations tbh.
