Should we ban tic/toc? 28

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 >>

Faster Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) solvers and Sensitivity Analysis of Parameters: Introducing SUNDIALS support in MATLAB 10

Sensitivity analysis of CARRGO model

Late last year I introduced the new solution framework for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) that made its debut in MATLAB R2023b. I demonstrated how it allowed users to do all kinds of... read more >>

How we made a better backslash in MATLAB R2024a 4
