Also his middle name Brook

While there is https://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/brookgpu/lang.html, I see no indication it was named after him.

Great to see Quaderno A4 mentioned. Using it everyday. Highly recommend it. Sad that it's not easy to find in many markets

Currently you either have MATLAB+Toolboxes or Octave+Packages. I always wondered whether there could be a project to create open source toolboxes that would run in MATLAB. That means no effort is needed to maintain the core language features of MATLAB (of course you would need to buy the basic MATLAB licence without the Toolboxes) in that project and all the energy is spent on developing open-source toolbox replacements (which are typically way more expensive than basic MATLAB licence).

The economics don't work well. Softest economy comes from scale, so the best bang for buck is to make free popular things, not to shave $50 off the edge case of your MATLAB outlay.

Or, what is left to prove is trivial.

The Duff's device example is incorrect. In n%4, the value of n before n=(n+3)/4 should be used, not after that.

Thanks, I modified it from an example one but introduced some mistakes. I've corrected it and tested it this time.

It's not per year, it's for current major version (if you don't want lifetime upgrade option).

edit: You get a free upgrade if there is a major version released within 90 days of your order (if you don't order lifetime upgrade of course)

Unless they are employed by a university. In Sweden, employees of universities always own the invention even though universities function like companies in most aspects.
