The NKTg Law (Law of Variable Inertia) not only holds value in physics but also opens up wide possibilities for applications in programming and simulation. The remarkable point here is that the same law, the same formula, can be implemented across a wide range of different programming languages.
In the content below, you will find a collection of 150 code snippets, each corresponding to one of the world’s leading programming languages:
Python, C++, Java, C, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Go, Rust, Kotlin, Dart, Scala, R, MATLAB, Julia, Haskell, Perl, Shell, SQL, Visual Basic, Assembly, Ada, Fortran, Prolog, Scheme, Lisp, Scratch, Smalltalk, Pascal, Groovy, PowerShell, Apex, ABAP, ActionScript, Algol, Alice, AmbientTalk, AngelScript, APL, Arc, Arduino, ASP.NET, AssemblyScript, ATS, AWK, Ballerina, BASIC, VHDL, Verilog, Assembly, AutoHotkey, AutoLISP, AWK, Bash, bc, Boo, Clojure, COBOL, Common Lisp, Crystal, D, Delphi/Object Pascal, Dylan, Eiffel, Elixir, Elm, Emacs Lisp, Erlang, F#, Factor, Falcon, Fantom, Felix, Forth, Fortress, Frink, Gambas, GAMS, GAP, Genie, GLSL, Hack, Haxe, HDL, HLSL, Hope, HTML, HyperTalk, Icon, IDL, Inform, Io, Ioke, J, J#, JScript, JavaFX Script, Io, Ioke, J, J#, JScript, Julia, Kotlin, LabVIEW, Ladder Logic, Lasso, Lava, Lisp, LiveCode, Logo, Lua, M4, Magik, Maple, Mathematica, MATLAB, Mercury, Modula-2, Modula-3, MoonScript, Nemerle, NetLogo, Nim, Nix, Objective-C, Objective-J, OCaml, OpenCL, OpenEdge ABL, Oz, PL/I, PL/SQL, PostScript, Promela, Pure, Q#, Racket, RAPID, REBOL, Red, Rexx, Ring, Solidity, SPARK, SPSS, Squirre
All the code snippets illustrate how to calculate the fundamental quantities of The NKTg Law on Varying Inertia:
The movement tendency of an object in space depends on the relationship between its position, velocity, and mass.
NKTg = f(x, v, m)
In which:
- x is the position or displacement of the object relative to the reference point.
- v is the velocity.
- m is the mass.
The movement tendency of the object is determined by the following basic product quantities:
NKTg₁ = x × p
NKTg₂ = (dm/dt) × p
In which:
- p is the linear momentum, calculated by p = m × v.
- dm/dt is the rate of mass change over time.
- NKTg₁ is the quantity representing the product of position and momentum.
- NKTg₂ is the quantity representing the product of mass variation and momentum.
- The unit of measurement is NKTm, representing a unit of varying inertia.
The sign and value of the two quantities NKTg₁ and NKTg₂ determine the movement tendency:
- If NKTg₁ is positive, the object tends to move away from the stable state.
- If NKTg₁ is negative, the object tends to move toward the stable state.
- If NKTg₂ is positive, the mass variation has a supporting effect on the movement.
- If NKTg₂ is negative, the mass variation has a resisting effect on the movement.
The stable state in this law is understood as the state in which the position (x), velocity (v), and mass (m) of the object interact with each other to maintain the movement structure, helping the object avoid losing control and preserving its inherent movement pattern.
# Python:
versatile, easy to learn, strong for AI and data science
x, v, m, dm_dt = 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 0.1
p = m * v
NKTg1 = x * p
NKTg2 = dm_dt * p
print(f"p={p}, NKTg1={NKTg1}, NKTg2={NKTg2}")
Java
// Java: enterprise applications, Android
public class NKTgLaw {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double x=2, v=3, m=5, dm_dt=0.1;
double p = m*v, NKTg1 = x*p, NKTg2 = dm_dt*p;
System.out.printf(
"p=%.2f NKTg1=%.2f NKTg2=%.2f%n", p, NKTg1, NKTg2);
}
}
Implementing the same law across 150 programming ecosystems demonstrates its universality and flexibility, while also confirming that any language—whether general-purpose and popular, or specialized and classical—can apply the NKTg Law to simulate, analyze, and handle practical problems.

These got released last week and the process for using them on your local machine with MATLAB is very similar to how you use the local deepseek models as I demonstrated in my February blog post How to run local DeepSeek models and use them with MATLAB » The MATLAB Blog - MATLAB & Simulink
You need Ollama and the LLMs with MATLAB package installed (Details on how to do this in the blog post above). Then you run the following in your operating systems' command line

This is the smaller of the two, new open models and it is bringing my aging desktop to its knees. My GPU is too small to do the work so I think everything is happening on the CPU and its slooooow. Will try on my Mac next
Let me know if you try this out!
Long before I joined MathWorks, I was a member of the academic Research Software Engineering (RSE) community where part of my mission was to introduce basic software engineering concepts to the research community. Things like version control, testing and even simply writing code instead of using only pointy-clicky GUIs before copying and pasting the results plot into a word document. I've seen things..........*shudders*
The RSE movement is still going very strong and I am elated that MathWorks is increasingly interacting with it. One example of such interaction is a video tutorial contributed by my colleauge @Mihaela Jarema to a comminity seminar series called 'A summer of Testing' It's linked to below
The video assumes you've never run a test before and gently guides you through the principles. Along the way you'll learn about some of MATLAB's superb testing capabilities. Things like
- Unit testing Framework
- Test Browser App
- Code Coverage
- Test Fixtures (Setup and teardown)
- Test driven devellopment
- Function argument validation
- CI/CD using GitHub actions

Hey cody fellows :-) !
I recently created two problem groups, but as you can see I struggle to set their cover images :
What is weird given :
- I already did it successfully twice in the past for my previous groups ;
- If you take one problem specifically, Problem 60984. Mesh the icosahedron for instance, you can normally see the icon of the cover image in the top right hand corner, can't you ?
- I always manage to set cover images to my contributions (mostly in the filexchange).
I already tried several image formats, included .png 4/3 ratio, but still the cover images don't set.
Could you please help me to correctly set my cover images ?
Thank you.

Resharing a fun short video explaining what MATLAB is. :)
I just wanted here to share a link to some .gif animations I created over the years with Matlab :-)
I think gif animations are great supports for scientific diffusion.
Hello to all!
I would like to share with the Matlab and Simulink community this video about Neural Networks in Simulink.
This is a series of videos that use a multilayer perceptron implemented in Simulink as a case study. Why Simulink? Because it's a visual and intuitive modeling tool, you can see the forward propagation of this network and better understand the flow. The objective of this series is to show the implementation using Simulink for both simulation and Arduino, as well as its training using Matlab and Matlab with Deep Learning Toolbox, and a video of training with Python.
The video is in Spanish, but the Simulink model is available in English for the entire community; subtitles are also available.
The files are located in the first comment of each video. We hope you find it interesting and enjoyable. Best regards!
Here I share the link to the first video.
In many parts of Africa, particularly in technical universities and engineering institutes, physical laboratories are scarce or poorly equipped. This reality deeply limits the hands-on experience students deserve, especially in fields like control systems, signal processing, power electronics, and fluid mechanics.
But MATLAB and Simulink can fill part of this gap.
As an educator and researcher, I’ve made it my mission to promote MATLAB as a didactic simulation environment that brings real-world experimentation into the virtual space—affordable, accessible, and scalable. Whether simulating dynamic systems, visualizing electromagnetic fields, or tuning PID controllers interactively, students can develop strong intuition without needing costly hardware.
🔧 I’ve used MATLAB to teach:
- Power systems and control theory without needing real generators or oscilloscopes,
- Hydrology and environmental modeling without field sensors,
- Robotics and AI concepts even where no robot is available.
🌍 This is more than a tool for me. It’s a bridge between educational ambition and limited infrastructure.
I dream of creating MATLAB-based virtual laboratories across African institutions. And I know I’m not alone.
Is anyone else here working on similar goals in under-resourced regions? Let’s connect and make it real.

As someone who grew up programming in C#, I often find myself wishing for a tighter, more native integration between MATLAB and C#.
There’s so much I dream of doing—leveraging the power of Simulink models or MATLAB’s advanced numerical libraries inside my .NET desktop or web applications. Of course, I know there are some workarounds: COM automation, MATLAB Engine API for .NET, or using MATLAB Compiler SDK… but let’s be honest: it’s not quite as seamless as I’d hope.
I imagine a world where:
- I could directly call MATLAB functions from C# as if they were .NET assemblies, without middleware.
- Simulink blocks could generate portable C# code (not just C/C++).
- MATLAB UI components could be embedded in WPF/WinForms apps natively.
Until then... we make do with what we have. But the vision remains.
Anyone else here trying to bridge MATLAB and C# in their workflow? I’d love to hear your experiences or ideas!

I found some beautiful computational art made by a developer called @yuruyurau who used a language called Processing. Unfortunately, I know very little about this language so I asked Claude to convert it to MATLAB for me.
Give it a try yourself and show me what you come up with.

Nice to have - function output argument provide code assist when said function is called
This is a feature which doesn't apear to currently exist, but I think alot of matlab users would like, particularly ones who write alot of custom classes.
Imagine i have a custom class with some properties:
classdef CustomClass < handle
properties
name (1,1) string = "default name"
varOne (1,1) double = 0
end
methods
function obj = CustomClass(name,varOne)
obj.name = name;
obj.VarOne = varOne;
end
end
end
Then imagine I have a function which returns one of these custom class objects:
function [obj] = Calculation(Var1,Var2,name)
arguments (Input)
Var1 (1,1) double
Var2 (1,1) double
end
arguments (Output)
obj (1,1) CustomClass
end
results = Var1 + Var2;
obj = CustomClass(name,result);
end
With this class and this function which returns one of these class objects, I would like the fact that I provided "(1,1) CustomClass" in the output arguemnts block of function "Calculation(Var1,Var2,name)" to trigger code assist automaticaly show me, when writing code that the retuned value from this funciton has properties "name" and "varOne" in the object.
For istance, if I write the following code with this function and the class in the Matlab search path
testObj = Calculation(1,1,"test");
testObj.varOne = 10; %the property "varOne" doesn't apear in code assist when writing this line of code
I would like that the fact function "Calcuation(Var1,Var2,name) has the output arguments block enforcing that this function must return an object of "CustomClass" to make code assist recognise that "testObj" is a "CustomClass" object, just as if testObj was an input argument to another function which had an input argument requiring that "testObj" was a "CustomClass" object.
Maybe this is a feature that may be added to matlab in future releases? (please and thank you LOL)

I would like to zoom directly on the selected region when using 
on my image created with image or imagesc. First of all, I would recommend using image or imagesc and not imshow for this case, see comparison here: Differences between imshow() and image()? However when zooming Stretch-to-Fill behavior happens and I don't want that. Try range zoom to image generated by this code:
on my image created with image or imagesc. First of all, I would recommend using image or imagesc and not imshow for this case, see comparison here: Differences between imshow() and image()? However when zooming Stretch-to-Fill behavior happens and I don't want that. Try range zoom to image generated by this code:fig = uifigure;
ax = uiaxes(fig);
im = imread("peppers.png");
h = imagesc(im,"Parent",ax);
axis(ax,'tight', 'off')
I can fix that with manualy setting data aspect ratio:
daspect(ax,[1 1 1])
However, I need this code to run automatically after zooming. So I create zoom object and ActionPostCallback which is called everytime after I zoom, see zoom - ActionPostCallback.
z = zoom(ax);
z.ActionPostCallback = @(fig,ax) daspect(ax.Axes,[1 1 1]);
If you need, you can also create ActionPreCallback which is called everytime before I zoom, see zoom - ActionPreCallback.
z.ActionPreCallback = @(fig,ax) daspect(ax.Axes,'auto');
Code written and run in R2025a.
This week's Graphics and App Building blog article guides chart authors and app builders through the process of designing for a specific theme or creating theme-responsive charts and apps.
- Learn how dark theme may impacts charts and apps
- Discover best practices for theme-adaptive workflows
- Step-by-step examples for both script-based plots and advanced custom charts and UI components
- Discover new tools like ThemeChangedFcn, getTheme, and fliplightness
A Guide to Themes for Chart Creators and App Builders
The long-awaited dark theme is now available in MATLAB R2025a. This article serves as a guide for designing charts and apps in a specific theme or that adapt automatically to either theme. By default, the graphics theme matches the desktop theme, so charts and apps appear in dark or light theme depending on system settings. These preferences can be adjusted
I'm planning to start a personal scientific software project. I used to be familiar with Matlab (quite some time ago), so Matlab would be my first choice. But I keep hearing that Matlab is old stuff and I should use Julia or something like that. I wouldn't find learning Julia difficult, so familiarity with Matlab is not an important factor. Neither is cost, because I can afford a home license for Matlab, Simulink and a few toolboxes. So I'm thinking. Please give me your input! Why should I use Matlab in 2025 instead of alternatives?
I’m quite curious as to why this particular email was sent directly to my personal inbox. I have never actively subscribed to any online or offline training services nor clicked on any related marketing links. Could it be that because I frequently visit the official MATLAB forums, someone has identified me as a potential customer for their targeted promotions?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and start a discussion on this!
