About MATLAB Central
MATLAB Central is where you can get answers, challenge yourself and others, and share your knowledge. Founded in 2001, MATLAB Central is the most trusted online community for MathWorks products and related technologies. We strive to make MATLAB Central an inviting and respectful forum where MATLAB users like you can exchange ideas and information.
Goal
