An Introduction To MATLAB: Presented by T.S.L.V.Ayyarao

MATLAB is a high-performance technical computing language developed in the 1970s by Cleve Moler that integrates computation, visualization, and programming. It is relatively easy to learn, optimized for matrix operations, and can function as both a calculator and programming language with powerful built-in routines. However, MATLAB is not a general purpose language, is interpreted rather than compiled so slower than languages like C++, and has commands specific to MATLAB usage. For students, MATLAB is useful for analyzing system dynamics, solving equations, projects, and research.
