ACTIVITY #5
MATLAB® is a programming platform designed
specifically for engineers and scientists to
analyze and design systems and products that
transform our world. The heart of MATLAB is
the MATLAB language, a matrix-based language
allowing the most natural expression of
computational mathematics.
