Matlab Programming Contest
Love puzzles or want to sharpen your MATLAB skills? Christopher Felton highlights MathWorks' biannual MATLAB programming contest, a week-long set of clever algorithm challenges that require only base MATLAB. Whether you're experienced or new, you can compete, compare solutions, or simply study others' code when later phases disclose submissions. No toolboxes or mex files allowed, so it's a pure programming playground for learning and bragging rights.
[Book Review] Numpy 1.5 Beginner's Guide
Christopher Felton's review gives a pragmatic take on Ivan Idris's Numpy 1.5 Beginner's Guide, praising its hands-on, exercise-driven approach while flagging several shortcomings. He finds the book a useful starting point for newcomers to Python numerical computing thanks to practical examples and a chapter on testing, but warns the title, incomplete installation guidance, and some factual errors may mislead readers.
