These libraries provide the closest analog I could find to the Octave/Gnuplot environment +used in the class. + +I'm motivated to both figure out the comparative difficulty of coding ML algorithms in cross platform C++ compared to Octave and as a +learning effort to reenforce the class information by restating the work in a different context.
