Sean's pick this week is Data Acquisition Tool by Isaac Noh. Data Acquisition Hardware Have you ever wanted to bring data directly from hardware into MATLAB or control... read more >>

Jiro's pick this week is The X Collection by Yvan Lengwiler. My day job is a customer training engineer. I get to take people who have never used MATLAB or Simulink to the point where they feel... read more >>

Sean's pick this week is RemoveSheet123 by Noam Greenboim. Working with MATLAB And Excel Recently, I've been doing data analysis for colleagues who are not MATLAB users. ... read more >>

Jiro's pick this week is Self-Balancing Robot by Yorihisa Yamamoto. This one comes from Tokyo, Japan. I am currently here for a few weeks working with the Application Engineers at the MathWorks Japan office which just opened this July. These engineers have... read more >>

Here is a new MATLAB Puzzler.
Given two vectors representing the X and Y coordinates of some points, find the two closest points in Cartesian space.

n = 10;
x = rand(1,n);
y = rand(1,n);

Brett and I took very different paths to solving this problem, he knows more about the statistics toolbox than I… read more >>

I am trying something new this week: the MATLAB Puzzler.
Rather than just work one of the Practical Examples directly, I am doing it in two parts. The first I will pose the MATLAB puzzler and say how much code it took me to solve it. This is not a contest,… read more >>

This is the second video in this series, it shows you how to run a very simplistic optimization. For a simple problem like this one, the algorithm is more than sufficient to find a correct answer to what size edge is needed set the grid spacing such that the right… read more >>

A while back, I posted a video about how to place points randomly inside of an arbitrary polygon. [Click here] This video prompted a question about how to place points in a more systematic manner. If you are only allowed to change the edge length of an equilateral triangular grid,… read more >>

As with all the videos in this practical example series, the process of developing code is more important than the particular problem that is being solved. In this video, we will be covering topics that are covered in earlier videos:

Nested subfunctions
Run configurations
FIND
Custom plots with Handle Graphics

However now we… read more >>
