I've been using MATLAB for almost 30 years, man and boy. In those 30 years, not only has MATLAB itself changed a lot but how you learn it has also changed dramatically. Back in my day, we had a few... read more >>

Sparse matrices have been in MATLAB for a long time but, up until now, the only types of sparse matrices you could create were double or logical sparse matrices.This is no longer the case and one of... read more >>

While browsing MATLAB Answers today, I stumbled across a discussion about the fastest way to solve small linear systems in MATLAB. As a performance-geek, I usually obsess over very large matrices but... read more >>

We all develop code for different reasons. However, once we decide to start sharing it with others, we tend to have one thing in common: We'd like as many people as possible to use it; and maybe even... read more >>

Give ThreadPool a tryIf you have some parallel MATLAB code and want to try something that may make it go faster then I suggest opening your Parallel pool as follows before running your... read more >>

I've been sharing mathematical equations with some sort of connection to Valentine's day for a long time now. Indeed, the first time I did it was 17 years ago on my old WalkingRandomly blog and I've... read more >>

Back in 2021, Loren Shure posted an article that introduced the first page-wise matrix functions in MATLAB: A page-wise matrix multiply pagemtimes, along with page-wise transpose pagetranspose, and... read more >>

Yesterday morning, I overheard my kids talking about a tic/toc ban which surprised me because they are not MATLAB users and not particularly well connected at MathWorks. How would they know about... read more >>

This is a guest blog post by Michael Hosea, a numerical analyst at MathWorks. He works on MATLAB Coder and on MATLAB’s ODE and integral solvers.MATLAB's ODE solvers have tolerances that the user can... read more >>

You’ve written a research paper and you have some MATLAB code that supports it. How do you disseminate this to make it accessible to as many people as possible? Here’s the new workflow. Step 1: Put... read more >>
