This short video covers the thought process of rewriting some code for clarity. The six lines of code are lengthened into twice that. The code is much more readable and maintainable. The problem… read more >>

The “Rules of the new game” puzzler was the most difficult one yet. Puzzlers are MATLAB programming challenges that I post from time to time. They lead to interesting discussions of… read more >>

I was interested in visualizing isolines on a graph of BMI. This is a non-linear function of two variables. I thought the best way to visualize this would be with a contour plot. This video… read more >>

In this short video we will show how to bring text files into MATLAB and use the original file name as the variable name. Actually, the file name will be used as a field name in a… read more >>
