Summary

In this chapter, we discuss a number of interrelated subjects: how to use the Internet to get additional help with MATLAB and to find MATLAB programs for certain specific applications, how to disseminate MATLAB programs over the Internet, and how to use MATLAB to prepare documents for posting on the World Wide Web.

MATLAB Help on the Internet

For answers to a variety of questions about MATLAB, it pays to visit the web site for The MathWorks,

http://www.mathworks.com

(In MATLAB 6, the Web menu on the Desktop menu bar can take you there automatically.) Since files on this site are moved around periodically, we won't tell you precisely what is located where, but we will point out a few things to look for. First, you can find complete documentation sets for MATLAB and all the toolboxes. This is particularly useful if you didn't install all the documentation locally in order to save space. Second, there are lists of frequently asked questions about MATLAB, bug reports and bug fixes, etc. Third, there is an index of MATLAB-based books (including this one), with descriptions and ordering information. And finally, there are libraries of M-files, developed both by The MathWorks and by various MATLAB users, which you can download for free. These are especially useful if you need to do a standard sort of calculation for which there are established algorithms but for which MATLAB has no built-in M-file; in all probability, someone has written an M-file for it and made it available.
