Interface between Matlab and Mathematica

matlab2mathematica

I'm doing something so COOL! .That i can't tell you because then i have to kill you!

Ok i will tell you i want to map a fingerprint to a PIN NUMBER ..get it
now i will kill you !
Anyways i needed a way interface matlab and mathematica . Mathematica symbol manipulation is really great ! ,but matlab opens door to so many things
DSPs ,HDL etc .so it would be great to have an interface between both. Well i look on the web and yes that interface exists already and exists in two forms
one as a toolbox for MATLAB and second as package for mathematica .All that is possible because MATHEMATICA has a comunication channel with the kernel called mathlink . and is possible to deal with the mathematica symbolic engine and use it as a server .
Very cool !


this is one posibility

and of course this beauty

Oh is so great ,Now from matlab i can harness all the MATHEMATICA symbolic power !!!
I don't even need to open Mathematica it works with the terminal interface to the kernel !!

Example ..

>> math('$Version') <----math is the communication function with mathematica
Mathematica Kernel loading...
