[dorkbotdc-blabber] MATLAB Circuit Simulation and Analysis

[Mike O'Dell]

that sure sounds more like SPICE than Matlab

based on my (admittedly thin) experience, Matlab excels at
jobs where closed-form analytic solutions exist, ideally in
matrix form. Signal processing and control theory come to
mind as natural fits. While one can formulate DC circuits
in such forms, it's a lot more natural to do it in SPICE
since the input form is a transliteration of the schematic.

i'd be interested to find out that similar facilities exist
for Matlab, but in my experience, Matlab is for system
dynamics (control loops) and SPICE is for circuit dynamics.
