I've recently been engaged in several events of potential interest to the geophysics community. In December 2014, a few of us from MathWorks attended the AGU meeting (American Geophysical Union).... read more >>

Today I'd like to introduce a guest blogger, Andrea Ho, who works for the MATLAB Documentation team here at MathWorks. Today, Andrea will discuss three new data types for representing dates and times in MATLAB in R2014b - datetime, duration, and calendarDuration.... read more >>

Today I’d like to introduce a guest blogger, David Garrison, who is a MATLAB Product Manager here at MathWorks. This is the first in a series of blogs over the next few weeks describing the new graphics system in R2014b and how some of the changes will affect you.... read more >>

Arithmetic is associative, right? Well, in the world of paper and pencil, where you can often do calculations exactly, that can be true. However, in the computing world, where real numbers can't always be represented exactly because of working with finite precision datatypes, it turns out that you can't depend on the arithmetic to behave the way you were taught in grade school.... read more >>

Google recently made a splash about its e-api-tools-for.html latest language tools. Translating one computer language to another is useful but passé. But suppose you could translate a computer language to
a human language: MATLAB -> English and English -> MATLAB. Type in your word problem and get the code instantly. It... read more >>

I'm very pleased to announce that we have a new blog on mathworks.com. We now have Seth on Simulink. Please read his blog for insight into Simulink, how to use it, what are the new features, etc. ... read more >>

The book Matrix Computations by Gene Golub and Charles Van Loan sits on the bookshelves of many MathWorks employees. Professor Golub, one of the founding members of the Stanford University computer science department, is a revered figure in the area of numerical analysis and matrix computations. ... read more >>

For those of you who wonder why MATLAB does not have a goto statement, you might look at this cartoon in addition to reading an earlier blog article I wrote. I am amused to see this confession about that post. ... read more >>

Customers have long asked for a GOTO statement in MATLAB to allow them to use programming constructs familiar to them from other languages they already know. I am pleased to announce that a proposal is making its way through the design process at MathWorks and I thought I'd use... read more >>

One of my favorite things about MATLAB is that I can write a mathematical algorithm using the same notation appearing in a technical book or paper. For algorithms that are naturally matrix-based, the economy and clarity of the MATLAB code contribute to the program's elegance.... read more >>
