I travel a lot. Mostly for work. I do try to take advantage of the priviledge - visiting so many amazing places -- and spend a little extra time occasionally. People even joke that I should be writing a travel blog. Of course I prefer t

I have always been fascinated by the names that are used to describe colors. There are dozens of web sites with lists of color names. I was surprised to discover that the shade of blue we use in MathWorks logo is almost the same as the on

Behind the Headlines was launched mid-decade to focus on highlighting the role of MATLAB and Simulink in today’s most visible news stories, and the scientists and engineers that made them happen. As we enter 2020, it’s natural to reflect on

It's that time of year again; 2019 is coming to a close as are the two thousand teens. During the past decade, I started at MathWorks, Brett stepped down from full time posting to quarterly (thanks for your continued contributions Brett!)

Jiro's Pick this week is ez plotter by Martin C.For my work, I spend a lot of my time thinking about how MATLAB can help with the learning and understanding of mathematical concepts. Being able to try things out themselves and immediately
2019-12-20 - Deep Learning
Happy Holidays, and Happy (almost) New Year! This time of year, I like to look back and remember the things we accomplished in a year. I'll recap the main themes of the deep learning blog this year, and ask you what you'd like to see in 202
2019-12-20 - Steve on Image Processing and MATLAB
Today, I'm writing about how to create animated PNG (APNG) files, such as this one: I first wrote about APNG files last February. An APNG file is a valid PNG image file that uses file metadata in a clever way to compress and store the frame

In this post, I will discuss robot modeling and simulation with Simulink®, Simscape™, and Simscape Multibody™. To put things in context, I will walk you through a walking robot example (get it?).
Motivation
First of all… why simulate? I’

Sometimes people state that they like using MATLAB because it's easy to express their mathematical thoughts. Sometimes there's a follow-on that they then switch to another language for performance. While early in the history of MATLAB, th
