Abstract
We present a tutorial on numerical computation for undergrads in Sciences, Maths and Engineering, based on Octave, a popular framework for numerical analysis which, in addition, is FOSS (Free & Open Source Software). So it can be freely run on several operating systems: Windows, MacOS, any GNU-Linux flavour, FreeBSD and, even, on Android mobile platform. The tutorial is given as a static web page with almost no extra complexities, such as database engine, dynamic rendering via PHP or similar. All the workflow is arranged through FOSS with full respect to standards.
