matlab | find()

I feel a lot of textbooks skip this instrumental function, and other tutorials on this function are not focused. Let's keep things very simple and focus on the bare essentials.

Focus on a vector, not a matrix.

Focus on find(some logical expression) rather than find(someVector)

http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/articles/matrix-indexing-in-matlab.html says
Logical indexing is closely related to the find function. The expression A(A > 5) is equivalent to A(find(A > 5)). Therefore, better learn logical indexing first.
