MATLAB
This chapter introduces MATLAB for presenting several programs that investigate elementary, but interesting, mathematical problems. 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. Key Features High-level language for technical computing. Development environment for managing code, files, and data. Interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving. Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, and numerical integration. 2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualizing data. Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces. Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages, such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, COM, and Microsoft Excel.
