ABSTRACT
MATLAB R© is a very high-level powerful system designed for technical computing. It integrates in the same software environment computation, plotting, and programming. It also has a very easy mathematical notation. Some of the most common applications for technical computing are as varied as:
Technical computing
Algorithmic development
Modelling and simulation
Data analysis
Plotting
Graphical User Interfaces
MATLAB is an acronym for MATrix LABoratory and it was originally developed to perform matrix calculations. MATLAB programming language is, probably, more powerful than traditional programming languages such as C, C++, VisualBasic, to name a few.
