Anniversary

MATLAB Central Turns Fifteen

In 2016 we celebrated the 15 year anniversary of MATLAB Central. Since its beginning, millions of community members (that's you) have shared code, solved problems, and worked together to make this community the world's number one place for MATLAB and Simulink resources. Congratulations and thank you! We are delighted and humbled by all you have done.
