What kind of product Mathlab is?

[hill]

Hi all,
Can anyone explain what is Matlab. I tried to look at Mathworks.com but can’t figure out what is this product. Is it a IDE for working with math or it’s just simply a math library?

Thanks & regards.

hmmm there are plenty of books in this board. View them, the best way is by doing examples. Matlab is MATrix LABoratory. Just do examples a lot. You need to be fluent in Linear Algebra also.

Matlab is possibly the most important mathematical tool in engineering, without doubt.

matlab is a tool by which you can perform a variety of tasks such as implement many dsp operations like fft..with just a few commands..it also has all other tool boxes namely neural networks ,fuzzy logic,control systems etc..for doing simulation of some block diagram and see its function...

Matlab is essentially an interpreted programming language by wich you can simulate in a very efficient way different algorithms ranging from
signal processing to genethic.
Every toolbox gives some particular functions related to some particular thing, RF, Control Systems, Communications....,
And don't forget to take a look of his powerful graphics.

MATlab is a Mathematical simulating software. Using this U can do
1) Simulation of your model
2) DSP checking, the unit performance ( theory)

In the past matlab was just kinda an interpreter program for matrix computation, and of course with that you can apply to many modelling and simulation problems. Now it's getting bigger and bigger and they incorporated into it some utilities so that you can convert your code to stand alone program. Actually for small and medium scale computation matlab is very convenient. For large scale, it's terribly slow

hi

matlab is matrix laboratory..it is capable of doing all the complex eqations in seconds . It is used for 2D,3D designing.

it is availaible in as ..compiler and assembler also
to avoid confusion ..read the help files and have a matlab tour ( availaible in software).

all the best
god bless U

personally i would recommend mathcad, it's just easier to use, matlab is brilliant at what it does but it's not easy to use, i would only use matlab if i had to.

Dear sir,

MATLAB® is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. This collection includes the following topics

Math and computation Algorithm development Data acquisition Modeling, simulation, and prototyping Data analysis, exploration, and visualization Scientific and engineering graphics Application development, including graphical user interface building



The MATLAB System


The MATLAB system consists of five main parts:

Development Environment. This is the set of tools and facilities that help you use MATLAB functions and files. Many of these tools are graphical user interfaces. It includes the MATLAB desktop and Command Window, a command history, an editor and debugger, and browsers for viewing help, the workspace, files, and the search path.

The MATLAB Mathematical Function Library. This is a vast collection of computational algorithms ranging from elementary functions, like sum, sine, cosine, and complex arithmetic, to more sophisticated functions like matrix inverse, matrix eigenvalues, Bessel functions, and fast Fourier transforms.

The MATLAB Language. This is a high-level matrix/array language with control flow statements, functions, data structures, input/output, and object-oriented programming features. It allows both "programming in the small" to rapidly create quick and dirty throw-away programs, and "programming in the large" to create large and complex application programs.

Graphics. MATLAB has extensive facilities for displaying vectors and matrices as graphs, as well as annotating and printing these graphs. It includes high-level functions for two-dimensional and three-dimensional data visualization, image processing, animation, and presentation graphics. It also includes low-level functions that allow you to fully customize the appearance of graphics as well as to build complete graphical user interfaces on your MATLAB applications.

The MATLAB External Interfaces (API). This is a library that allows you to write C and Fortran programs that interact with MATLAB. It includes facilities for calling routines from MATLAB (dynamic linking), calling MATLAB as a computational engine, and for reading and writing MAT-files

Maybe this can help:

 

[josesitocg]

matlab is a maths software... you can do very complex operations as those which are involved on dsp or mathematical models of signals and systems in engineering

it is like a very powerfull calculator with "programming language"s capacities and a big big library of usefull functions on engineering processes that can be described on math equations..
