Welcome to Sutherland's MATLAB Wiki!

the definitive online resource

Check Out The Chemical Engineering Homepage @ http://www.che.utah.edu/~sutherland/JamesHome/Home.html

Aim of the Wiki

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
This Wiki is intended to be a MATLAB resource for students. Its full of explanations, procedures, tips, tricks and examples. All Chemical Engineering students should be able to log in using their departmental user name and password.

Tutorials

Theres alot to learn about MATLAB, and this site is full of helpful tutorials explaining everything from the basics, to complicated procedures. Have a look...

This Wiki won't bite

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
It may look a little difficult to create a wiki article, but really it isn’t. You don’t have to do anything fancy, all that's needed is a bit of practice. As they say, practice makes perfect and before you know it your wiki skills will be well developed. A good place to start is the Sandbox, or check out the some of the tutorials already on the site to get a look at the general style.

Featured Tutorials

There are new tutorials being added all the time, have a look at some of the new additions.
Matlab Basics Plotting Input/Output in Matlab
Interpolation Figures in Word Regression
Debugging in Matlab Numerical Integration Nonlinear equations
