NATICK, Mass. - (2010年11月8日)
MathWorks kicked off its 2010 Fall MATLAB Online Programming Contest today, challenging MATLAB users around the world to solve a navigation problem. The contest, titled “Sailing Home,” runs from November 10–17.
The contest fosters collaboration in engineering and science by encouraging participants to build on and borrow from the code written by fellow competitors. All participants have access to the code entered in the contest, ** it easy to share ideas. As a result, participants have the opportunity to learn techniques from their peers for programming in MATLAB and writing more effective code.
MathWorks is leveraging social networking platforms, including MATLAB Central, throughout the contest so that participants can discuss their solutions and strategies globally with peers. This real-time interaction creates a more innovative programming process.
MATLAB Online Programming Contests are held semiannually by MathWorks for its 1.3 million active MATLAB users. Each contest presents a different problem to be solved within a week. Visit
mathworks.com/matlabcentral/contest to register for the “Sailing Home” MATLAB Online Programming Contest and follow @ContestLeaders on Twitter and
Facebook for frequent contest updates.
