MATLAB: Running matlab from the command line.

command lineMATLAB

I'm trying to run matlab from the mac OS X terminal (I'm running OS X Yosemite). From what I gathered, typing "matlab -nodesktop" should do the trick. However, upon doing that I get the following:

-bash: matlab: command not found

What can I do to fix this?

For example:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/matlab -nodesktop -nojvm

Adjust the R2014a according to the release you are using.

Note: if you happen to have used the options on the dock to assign MATLAB to a desktop, then OS-X will switch to that desktop even though you are not using graphics.

If you do not use the -nojvm flag then you will get the splash screen coming up even though you are not using the desktop.

MATLAB: I am having problems getting MATLAB to start in Ubuntu

If you try and start MATLAB from a terminal window, instead of from a launcher, you might get a useful error message. You can start a terminal window however you prefer (if you don't know how alt+f2 should get you a run dialog and you can type xterm). In the terminal type: $MATLABPATH/bin/matlab where $MATLABPATH is the path of your install (for me that it is /usr/local/matlab/r2010b).

MATLAB: Intersection of plane and line.

One approach:

syms x y z t
%    x + 2y + 3z = 4 and line (x, y, z) = (2,4,6) + t(1,1,1)
xl = 2 + t;
yl = 4 + t;
zl = 6 + t;
Eqn = x + 2*y + 3*z == 4;
Eqn = subs(Eqn, {x y z},{xl yl zl});
t = solve(Eqn, t)

Then, substitute back into the ‘line’ equations for ‘xl’, ‘yl’, and ‘zl’.
