In this short video, I explore the math behind this joke: An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The 1st orders a 1 beer. The 2nd orders 1/2 a beer. The 3rd orders … read more >>
I love getting well formed question and challenges from fellow MATLAB users. This week I got one that works very well as a video. The problem was trying to index into a vector with a vector of… read more >>
Well, it was a great contest this season. I was very happy to see that each King of the Hill tended to get arguably better than the prior. I wanted to find out how much better, so I used the actual… read more >>
I have been waiting until the daylight portion of the ArmyAnts contest to post this commentary. Jan has done an excellent job with his algorithm. He made only one entry in that time period, and he… read more >>
I love the MATLAB contest, I am not sure if it is more fun to play the contest or to help design and administer it. Either way, I am looking forward to seeing a lot of really great algorithms from… read more >>
I think it is best to do these tutorials based on solving realistic coding challenges. In helping to write the code for the next MATLAB contest, I had a situation where I wanted two images to be… read more >>
