The Language of Technical Computing

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 builtin 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.
