The basic data unit of MATLAB is matrix, and its instruction expression is very similar to that commonly used in mathematics and engineering. Therefore, it is much simpler to solve problems with MATLAB than to do the same thing with C, FORTRAN and other languages, and MATLAB also absorbs the advantages of Maple and other software, making MATLAB a powerful mathematical software. Support for C, FORTRAN, C++ and JAVA has also been added in the new version.
Extended data:
Dominant characteristics
1) Efficient numerical calculation and symbolic calculation functions can free users from complicated mathematical operations and analysis;
2) It has complete graphics processing function to realize the visualization of calculation results and programming;
3) Friendly user interface and naturalized language close to mathematical expressions are convenient for scholars to learn and master;
4) Multifunctional application toolbox (such as signal processing toolbox and communication toolbox). ) provides users with a large number of convenient and practical processing tools.
