One starting place would be similar write ups for NumPy and Matlab such as:
http://www.scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/ I would also like to see something like a PDL::Matlab module implementing some common matlab functions in PDL. It would mostly be syntactic sugar but would be a big help for folks just starting or needing to interact with matlab users or having to use both on a regular basis. For example, some roughly equivalent functions (in some contexts): size(X) <-> $X->dims eye(n) <-> identity($n) ones(n) <-> ones($n) sum(A) <-> $A->sumover dot(A,B) <-> inner($A,$B) reshape <-> reshape A similar reference for NumPy users might also be helpful. --Chris David Mertens wrote: > None that I'm aware of.
