MATLAB Programming Contest Blog

November 7th, 2007

Fall Contest is here!

The 2007 Fall MATLAB Contest officially begins at noon today. Find out what this challenge is all about at at the contest page. See a description of the challenge, the full contest rules, and a FAQ that explains how to participate.

The contest will run through noon next Wednesday, November 14th. Many of you had asked for a darkness period late in the contest, so we’ve added a new twist this time: late stage twilight. In addition to hiding all code for a full day, we will change the test suite next Monday. As always, winners of our various challenges will receive a small prize for their efforts.

If you have questions about the contest, or encounter problems along the way, please post your questions to the newsgroup thread.

Good luck to everyone!

Helen Chen and the MATLAB Central Team

PS: After the contest ends on Wednesday, November 14th, some of us are getting together near Harvard Square (Cambridge, Mass.) for a drink to celebrate another great contest. Email me if you’d like to join us.
