Description
MATLAB is a powerful software used by engineers, scientists, and students to solve problems that involve numbers, data, and complex systems. It combines programming with easy-to-use tools for analyzing information, creating visualizations (like graphs and charts), and running calculations.
Alongside MATLAB, there is Simulink, a companion tool that lets users build models and run simulations of real-world systems, such as engines, control systems, or communications networks, using a simple drag-and-drop interface.
MATLAB is made by MathWorks, which also offers many add-on products designed for specialized tasks like image processing, machine learning, data analysis, and more.
