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™. MATLAB is the foundation for all products, including Simulink®. You can extend MATLAB with add-on products for: Parallel Computing Math, Statistics, and Optimization Control System Design and Analysis Signal Processing and Communications Image Processing and Computer Vision Test and Measurement Computational Finance Computational Biology Code Generation and Verification Application Deployment database Connectivity and Reporting
