The Mathworks MATLAB is a multi-faceted environment and fourth-generation programming language that's designed to perform complex numerical computations in academic and industrial research. It's widely used in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Economics, and Engineering. Mostly, MATLAB is used to implement algorithms, plot functions, chart data, and manipulate matrices. The integration of the MuPAD symbolic engine gives MATLAB users the capability to perform symbolic computations as well. In addition, the Simulink package allows graphical simulations across multiple platforms and uses model-based design when developing dynamic and embedded applications. MATLAB's interactive feature helps scientists and businesses in their collaborative research, iterative exploration, and creative problem solving. Its other key features include graphical tools for visualizing data and development tools for optimizing the code. MATLAB also interfaces smoothly with other languages, such as C and Java, and external applications like Excel or Access.
