Integer and Single-Precision Math in MATLAB 7
MATLAB 7 now provides integer and single-precision math. This new capability enables processing of integers and larger single-precision data sets in their native type, resulting in more efficient memory usage. This article describes the new MATLAB integer and single-precision math features with application examples for each case.New Interactive Plot Creation Tools in MATLAB 7
MATLAB 7 introduces a new set of tools to let you interactively create and edit plots without typing any MATLAB code. Now you can create plots from scratch and visualize your data much more quickly, and you can automatically generate the code to use again with new data.
Recommendations for Creating Accurate Linearized Models in Simulink
Many engineering analysis and design methodologies require the linear approximation of complex nonlinear models. This article addresses confusing linearization situations within a Simulink context, explaining types of Simulink models that linearize well and how to obtain accurate results.A Practical Application of New Features of the System Identification Toolbox
The System Identification Toolbox now supports estimation and validation using frequency domain data. This release also added support for the creation of low order continuous time process models. This article explores the practical application of these new features, using a simple linear circuit as the device under test. We also demonstrate data collection using the Data Acquisition Toolbox and Instrument Control Toolbox.User Resources
MATLAB Central Link Exchange
Access links to hundreds of MATLAB Web sites and resources contributed by users of MATLAB, Simulink and related products.MATLAB Gerrymandering Contest Analysis
Find out how more than 160 MATLAB programmers competed during the 8th MATLAB programming contest. Contestants were given the task of preparing for an upcoming election in the imaginary state of Rectanglia, by dividing it into N districts of equal population.Using the MATLAB Compiler to Compile EVAL Statements that Manipulate Workspace Variables
