MATLAB
®
is a high-level technical comput-
ing language and interactive environment
for algorithm development, data visu-
alization, data analysis, and numerical
computation. Using MATLAB, you can
solve technical computing problems faster
than with traditional programming lan-
guages, 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.
