MATLAB® Central

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 bat365 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

The MATLAB Central community exists in support of the bat365 company mission of accelerating the pace of engineering and science. You can find resources – such as the MATLAB Answers Q&A forum, File Exchange, and Cody – that foster a spirit of sharing and learning.

Community Advisors

Our community advisory board (CAB) advises, assists, and advocates for fellow community members as well as bat365 on matters that impact the MATLAB Central community.
