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.

Anniversary

A Wonderful Celebration!

To commemorate this anniversary, we created two MATLAB Central-themed games. We awarded prizes to top performers and randomly gave out prizes to qualified participants. We made the games even more exciting by basing our donations to the following three charities on your participation.

Based on your participation we raised $2,500 for each of the charities.
