The Language of Technical Computing
MATLAB® is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical
computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can
analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications.
The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you to explore
multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets
or traditional programming languages, such as C/C++ or Java™. You can
use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal processing and
communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and
measurement, computational finance, and computational biology. More than
a million engineers and scientists in industry and academia use MATLAB,
the language of technical computing.
