MATLAB
is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development,
data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, you can solve
technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and
Fortran.
You can use MATLAB in a wide range of applications, including signal and image
processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modeling and analysis,
and computational biology. Add-on toolboxes (collections of special-purpose MATLAB functions,
available separately) extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems in these
application areas.
MATLAB provides a number of features for documenting and sharing
your work. You can integrate your MATLAB code with other languages and applications, and distribute
your MATLAB algorithms and applications.
