Software Overview
The MathWorks MATLAB is a high performance technical computing system that includes a numerical computing environment and a programming language. It is commonly used in engineering and academia.
MATLAB provides many tools to help you with numeric computation, data analysis, and programming. It has built-in 2D and 3D plotting functions that allow you to view your data in many different visual formats. You can use its preprocessing features to discover trends in your data and perform tests. After analyzing your data, MATLAB allows you to document and share your results with automatically generated reports that can be exported in multiple formats including HTML and PDF.
If you are interested in learning how to use numerical computing programs for engineering, MATLAB has affordable home and student license options. Other programs like Mathematica and Maple are recommended if you are working more in the field of mathematics.
