FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Where can I obtain help on using Matlab?
If you don't have access to the Matlab documentation in Sweet Hall, or if that documentation has disappeared (as is apparently often the case), then there are several on-line sources of help:
  • Type "help" at the Matlab command line for a list of help topics, or "help command" for help on a specific command.
  • Here is a Matlab Beginner's Guide. 
  • You can use this on-line reference documentation.
  • For a more general introduction to Matlab, refer to this Matlab primer (in PDF or PostScript format).
  • Check out the Mathworks web site for Matlab FAQ's, a solution search engine, and a large number of additional M-files contributed by both the user community and the Mathworks technical staff.
  • More information about UNIX and Sweet Hall can be found at consult.stanford.edu .

The command "matlab" will run Matlab 6.0, while "matlab5" will run Matlab 5.3.1
