This video furthers our analysis of the solitaire cipher, which is really just a pseudo random number generator. In this video, we estimate the cycle time of our random number generator to determine… read more >>

This next video shows how to think about the results from the profiler to speed up your MATLAB code. We do not spend much time on the actual optimization, but more on finding bottlenecks and… read more >>

This video is about how to debug in MATLAB. This video shows an error that occurs only now and then when using random inputs. A technique for capturing the random inputs, using dBSTOP IF ERROR, the… read more >>

I have liked cryptography since I was sending Caesar cipher messages to my fellow 6th graders. The essence of that was to ‘add’ a value to each letter of your message. With Caesar, it… read more >>

I commonly am asked how to learn MATLAB. Here are common questions and answers. What MATLAB books or MATLAB tutorials should I use? I am, of course biased on this. I think this blog is a… read more >>

This video shows how to put an individual text label on each of a series of points. This video also shows a simple technique for understanding lines of code where there are many functions… read more >>

Cody is one of my favorite ways of learning MATLAB. I have recently created a problem in Cody where you are to solve addition problems of this puzzle style: W A I T + A L L … read more >>
