The other day, I was at work looking for something to help me simulate large groups of entities when I stumbled upon a very interesting paper.

Matlab Particles is a paper by Professor Jörg J. Buchholz that talks about the various ways of creating particles and particle-systems in Matlab.

Not only does his paper explain the basics, but it also talks about creating and simulating nonlinear multi-order systems. Which is very cool if you are doing things like nonlinear dynamics, simulation and modelling, fluid dynamics and assorted fun stuff.

Totally awesome and highly recommended for Matlab and nonlinear dynamics geeks (Almonds and Niyant, I’m looking at you guys). Now if only we did not have to hack our way around Scilab to do the cooler stuff.
