Introduction To MATLAB: The Language of Technical Computing

MATLAB is a high-performance language used for technical computing and was developed in the late 1970s by Cleve Moler. It allows for computation, visualization, programming and is used for tasks like math, modeling, simulation, data analysis and scientific graphics. MATLAB features include numerical and symbolic computing capabilities, a desktop environment for iterative problem solving, custom plotting, application specific toolboxes, and interfaces to other programming languages.
