Octave has functions for computing the probability density function pdf, the cumulative distribution function cdf, and the quantile the inverse of the cdf for a large number of distributions. The pdf contains notes and worked examples, whereas the powerpoints are problems with answers. It is also convenient to provide unity as default for both mean and scale.
