-x^5 +20*x^3 +60*(2*t+1)*x -60*p=0
where t is declared as syms and p is a constant. Can i solve it for x?

I m writing a program to solve equations for some material properties, this is my first attemp:::
%initial attempt of the excel solver function

Hey everyone:
I've got this funky binary data file that has a multitude of

field and data type, leaving me with arrays of 8-bit bytes

i can sucessfully connect to the serial port and recieve
data from the marcator digital indicator i am using.  I
want to idiot proof my program for whoever uses it so... is
there a way to see if the indicator is connected? i tried

I'm making a MATLAB code that calculates the 2-D trajectory
of a point-mass body. However, unlike the examples for of
this type in textbooks I'm also including a real atmosphere
model and drag coefficient data as a function of Mach

I recently inherited some code that was written as a script.
I prefer to work with functions and so was doing some minor
rewrites, but I'm running into a problem with some of the
variables.  Specifically, Matlab treats one of them as a

If I have string like s(4 columns) the space delimiter between column is tab
and the space delimiter with in each column is space like below  
s= '1  2  3  x y'
and I want to extract each column in a cell.  I write the below regexp

I am trying to understand exactly what is done in Matlab's
PROCRUSTES.  it seems that given two sets of points,
PROCRUSTES first assumes that the center of rotation is at
the mean of each set, which reduces the problem to just

I'm designing a Recurrent NN for English letter Prediction.
Basically, input vectors is n-1, n-2, ..., 1, etc letter
history. The output is predicted letter. I'd like to use
decimal ASCII as the input and output values.

So I have this simple program that takes in RS232 data and
just displays it to the screen. Note this is a GUI
