MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment for
numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you
can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and
applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable
you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with
spreadsheets or traditional programming languages, such as C/C++ or
Java.
You can use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal
processing and communications, image and video processing, control
systems, test and measurement, computational finance, and computational
biology. More than a million engineers and scientists in industry and
academia use MATLAB, the language of technical computing.
MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing
software. MATLAB, the language of technical computing, is a programming
environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and
numeric computation. Simulink is a graphical environment for simulation
and Model-Based Design for multidomain dynamic and embedded systems.
Engineers and scientists worldwide rely on these product families to
accelerate the pace of discovery, innovation, and development in
automotive, aerospace, electronics, financial services,
biotech-pharmaceutical, and other industries. MathWorks products are
also fundamental teaching and research tools in the world's universities
and learning institutions.
