MATLAB, Mathematica and Maple are also called the three major mathematical softwares. It is second to none in numerical calculation in mathematical science and technology application software. MATLAB can perform matrix operations, draw functions and data, realize algorithms, and create user interfaces and connections.
Programs in other programming languages are mainly used for engineering calculation, control design, signal processing and communication, image processing, signal detection, financial modeling design and analysis.
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. It can be called directly, and users can also import their own utility programs into MATLAB function library to facilitate their later call. In addition, many MATLAB enthusiasts have written some classic programs that users can download and use directly.
MATLAB product series can be used to do the following work:
numerical analysis
Numeric and symbolic computation
Engineering and scientific drawing
Design and Simulation of Control System
