That way, a solution for a particular oesn't just answer that one problem, but rather, that problem and all similar problems Many of the sections start off with a general description of what the section is about and what kind of problems that are solved there. Following that are implementations which may be used to solve the given problem Typographical conversions All MATLAB code is set in a monospaced font, like this, and the rest is set in a proportional font. En ellipsis(... )is sometimes used to indicated omitted code. It should be apparent from the context whether the ellipsis is used to indicate omitted code or if the ellipsis is the line continuation ymbol used in MATLAB MATLAB functions are, like other MATLAB code, set in a proportional font, but in addition, the text is hyperlinked to the documentation pages at The Math Works web site. Thus, depending on the pdf document reader, clicking the function name will open a web browser window showing the appropriate documentation page Credits To the extent possible, I have given credit to what I believe is the author of a particular solution. In many cases there is no single author, since several people have been tweaking and trimming each other's solutions. If I have given credit to the wrong person, please let me know. In particular, I do not claim to be the sole author of a solution even when there is no other mentioned Errors and feedback If you find errors, or have suggestions for improvements, or if there is anything you think should be here but is not, please mail me and I will see what I can do.

That way, a solution for a particular problem doesn’t just answer that one problem, but rather, that problem and all similar problems. Many of the sections start off with a general description of what the section is about and what kind of problems that are solved there. Following that are implementations which may be used to solve the given problem. Typographical convensions All MATLAB code is set in a monospaced font, like this, and the rest is set in a proportional font. En ellipsis (...) is sometimes used to indicated omitted code. It should be apparent from the context whether the ellipsis is used to indicate omitted code or if the ellipsis is the line continuation symbol used in MATLAB.
