I have seen an increasing number of questions on structures and extracting information from them in a vectorized way. Though I've already covered portions of this topic in... read more >>

How do you write M-files in MATLAB that you would like to have work correctly whether the inputs are double precision or single? By correctly, I mean that the program gives an... read more >>

Over the years, people have posted many versions of code for calculating Fibonacci numbers. I thought I'd collect a few of the ideas here and start a discussion on the merits... read more >>

People have different ideas about what costs a lot, in terms of memory, in MATLAB. And sometimes people don't know the details. Today I am going to talk about when MATLAB... read more >>

There is a fairly constant stream of questions in many MATLAB venues, including the MATLAB newsgroup that boil down to not understanding the difference between command and function... read more >>

There have been several requests on the MATLAB newsgroup to calculate the area of a function on a non-rectangular domain. MATLAB's function dblquad uses the technique that I am going to... read more >>

Today I'd like to tell you how you might improve the performance of reading and writing files using MATLAB's low-level file i/o functions. The key here is to disable the automated buffer... read more >>

I'm feeling pensive today as I participate in development activities at MathWorks for Release 2006b. We are following a 6-month release schedule and the naming convention for the twice... read more >>

I'm pleased to introduce Jason Breslau, our guest blogger this week, who gives us his take on MATLAB, strings, and regular expressions. When you think about text processing, you... read more >>
