MATLAB

MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a numerical computing environment and fourth-generation

programming language. Developed by MathWorks, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations,
plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and
interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, and Fortran.

Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numerical computing, an optional toolbox uses the
MuPAD symbolic engine, allowing access to symbolic computing capabilities. An additional
package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and Model-Based Design for
dynamic and embedded systems.

MATLAB® is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform
computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and
Fortran.

MATLAB is the foundation for Simulink® and all other MathWorks™ products, and can be
extended with add-on products for:
