Although making some progress with the textbook, I am still struggling with some parts of the heavy math.
I am really stoked about this class! I expect it to give me enough clarity to breeze through the rest of the book.

I know I will enjoy it, especially if it is anything even remotely close the machine learning class from professor Ng https://www.coursera.org/course/ml

Windows octave path issues

If you try to run your script and get “undefined near line“, most likely you need to add your path in the octaverc script. Note that there are two different octaverc scripts. I modified the System-wide one.

Mine looks something like this:

## System-wide startup file for Octave.
##
## This file should contain any commands that should be executed each
## time Octave starts for every user at this site.

addpath("d:/ml/class/ex1");
addpath("d:/ml/class/ex2");
addpath("d:/ml/class/ex3");
addpath("d:/ml/class/ex4");
addpath("d:/ml/class/ex5");
addpath("d:/ml/class/ex6");

Automate submit script

Find the loginPrompt function in the submit.m script and replace it with this, that way you don’t have to enter your password every time you submit:

function [login password] = loginPrompt()
% Prompt for password
% [login password] = basicPrompt();
login = 'youremail@yourdomain.com';
password = 'your submit password';
end
