MATLAB is a commercial mathematics software produced by MathWorks Company in the United States. It is an advanced technical computing language and interactive environment, which is used for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis and numerical calculation. Mainly includes MATLAB and Simulink. MATLAB is widely used!
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, create user interfaces, and connect programs in other programming languages. Mainly used in engineering calculation, control design, signal processing and communication, image processing, signal detection, financial modeling design and analysis and other fields.
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.
