You may have noticed some recent changes in the format of this blog. Here’s what to expect on a regular basis – two topics per week.

You may also notice that Saturday and Sunday are not displayed. That's a clue to how Tobin uses this tool. From his description "When I teach matlab-intensive courses, I post a calendar on the class web page and create a link for each date to a matlab diary (or published output) of that day." His students get weekends off, and Tobin gets extra credit for providing links to MATLAB content.

MATLAB may have started as a humble tool for learning matrix arithmetic and solving linear algebra problems. For nearly a quarter century MATLAB has grown more powerful and broadly useful. As a dyed-in-the-wool[1] MATLAB geek I just love to see creative and innovative uses like this. Tell us about yours.
