[Quantian-general] Octave and R

[CalcPage at aol.com]

I've never used Octave or R.  I'm confused, I read somewhere that one  or 
both of these packages can be used on a cluster?  
 
Also, is Octave like MatLab and R like SPSS.  If so, could I just use  a book 
on MatLab or SPSS to teach my self these packages?  
 
I would like to use these packages next year in a computer lab setting with  
my AP Calculus BC and AP Physics C (same group) students next year, so any 
help  would be most appreciated!
