MATLAB

This page collects material and links to resources on MATLAB, a numerical computing environment and the associated fourth-generation programming language. There are supporting subpages.

Wikiversity resources to help you learn and use MATLAB

• Getting started will guide (and link) you through the MathWorks tutorial.
• The MATLAB Cookbook contains snippets of useable code that you can copy/paste/modify
• MATLAB essential: a course aimed at college-level students

Wikiversity MATLAB projects

• Engineering thermodynamics was an effort to create tables and graphs for Engineering thermodynamics
• Divergent series investigations is advanced and weird -- physics at its best (or worst!)
  • See also Divergent series and Casimir effect in one dimension and Quantum field theory on a violin string.
• Sound/Just and equal tuning
  • Bach Prelude Cello Suite #1 ***Well tempered clavier: 0:06, 1:19, 2:33, 4:44
  • Sound/Emergence of beats (in progress)
• Rainwater tank simulation is an ongoing project to use simulink to model rainwater events and water consumption from a tank or cistern.

GNU Octave

GNU Octave is free-as-in-freedom software largely compatible with MATLAB. You can learn more about it in links available in GNU Octave page. As a limitation, GNU Octave lacks some MATLAB functions.

It is possible to write a wikiquiz with testbank using Octave. For example:

• Physics_equations/07-Work_and_Energy/Q:cart1/history
