Hello World

Hi,
I am Asma Afzal, an Electrical Engineering PhD student at the University of Leeds, UK. I am applying for the GNU Octave GSoC project of creating MATLAB compatible wrappers for functions in the optim package. Additional stretch goals are still under discussion. These include, implementing additional optimization algorithms already present in C++/Fortran as they may be well-suited to some specific problems [1].
