  • Abstract
    Some tricks and tips on the usage of Matlab were provided in the August 2013 issue of IEEE Control Systems Magazine [1]. This column gives an example in which application of two tips speeds up a Matlab program by orders of magnitude. The example can be used to teach control engineering students the importance of following the two tips but also, more generally, the importance of implementation details when solving problems with a computer.
