I am unsure where to post a question regarding how to do something in Matlab... I know that is a bit cryptic, but I'm trying to only ask WHERE I should post the question, and not ask the question itself in this forum. Because it is not a homework question, and also because it concerns computer programming in addition to mathematics and physics, I'm not clear about whether I should post in the Computer Science and Programming section, the Mathematics section, the Physics section, or all three, or even somewhere else entirely.

I have also posted my question in the MatLab forums here, but have not received any responses as yet: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/296303

I hope that someone will reply and guide me to the appropriate thread to place my question in. Thank you in advance for any assistance!

The Math & Science Software forum description includes Matlab:

Matlab, Mathematica, Stata, Maple, LaTeX...

So I'd think that's a good forum to try. Definitely only post in one forum -- multiple posting is not allowed on the PF. If you end up thinking that a different forum would have been better to post in, just click the Report button, and ask the Mentors to move the thread.
