I was born 25 minutes before the attack! So from the US point of view, I was one of the very last pre-war babies and you were a early war baby.
Octave for one, implements almost the entire Matlab library. I didn't say you would have to do no work or not understand the principles. You don't get pretty pictures either. The accuracy is completely determined by the quality of your test record.
So, read a book on linear algebra (matrices) and download a Matlab course from the web.
Should be plenty around, Matlab (basics) classes are standard in the BSc phase at tech universities nowadays, i had mine in the late '80s.

I remember the Electric Prunes! Let's not forget Strawberry Alarm Clock.

You bet, I was into Hendrix and all fuzzed out psych, Amboy Dukes, Spencer Davis Group, Iggy Pop, etc. Grateful Dead didn't hit the radar.
BTW my uncle was killed in Hawaii and my father flew 50 missions and brought some friends home dead from flak. I grew up plain blue collar but saw nothing productive in hot wiring cars and all the rest of my friends vandalism.
Nope, never went into the used car lot and scratched all the hoods with a key either, or put baking soda in the batteries.
I would watch films like the "Seventh Seal" and discuss them with my teachers.

I can't recall doing anything that did not give me something useful in return. Your friends must have been vandals. I saw the 7th Seal, probably first in 1962 at the college auditorium when I was a junior in college studying physics. Saw 'Rashomon' in the same time period, now that is a movie!
Remembering back to those days
I.E............. Vinyl is the standard
Certain albums stand out in my remembrance
as technically superior
Way cleaner for lack of a better term ...
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band was way well recorded
Early Jefferson Airplane was pretty good ....
They sounded in person pretty much like their albums .........

I would like to say what I am trying to get at. Some people, from all nations, may be good engineers, but somewhat limited in outlook, due to their careful upbringing and perhaps deferred gratification for many years. There is nothing wrong with this lifestyle, but it relatively 'un-hip' and leads to a narrower view of reality than some others. This does not mean that I was a vandal or troublemaker, and I resent the implication. However, in high school, in the 1950's, I was a little 'adventurous' and I think it was a healthy break from the tyranny of parents, while meaning well, can tend to inhibit a certain kind of maturity.
For example, if I had NOT worked in the early 1970's with the Grateful Dead, Owsley, and others who were a lot 'farther out' than I would ever be, I would not have been successful in making the circuits that Mark Levinson made famous. I needed the unbridled feedback from these people to get me in the right direction, so to speak. The rest is history.

I don't consider the GD "far out". Toking and jamming all night to a lot of frankly boring and forgetable music.
Well, to each, his own. I have done concerts with the GD with 500,000 people. They seemed to enjoy it. I also went AA sober, backstage with the Grateful Dead, and at the sound mixer in the middle of the room for 2 years straight on New Years Eve in 1990 and 1991 at the Oakland Auditorium. Yes, it is more boring, sober, sharing a warm soft drink at midnight, but still OK. Your contempt for a successful group, yet remembering 'The Electric Prunes' amazes me.
I suspect that you are 'clueless' about what the GD had as a band, and why they got so popular.

IMO the main reason why the vinyl is so popular and why many people (not all) like it so much is the intrinsic warm spectrum of the groove noise. This would considerably change sound of tape master as well.
The tape has its specific hiss, even much lower level, than vinyl intrinsic groove noise. This hiss, a kind of low level noise, may again make sound more 'pleasant' to listen.

Yes, it is lost both in tape and vinyl.
I think that many systems are unable to reproduce low level information accurately, and for this reason many do prefer vinyl and tape, as they have intrinsically lower content of low level information. They mask it by groove noise and hiss, which may be more acceptable in some systems.
