MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and fourth-generation
programming language. Developed by MathWorks, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting
of functions and data, implementation ofalgorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs
written in other languages, including C, C++, Java, and Fortran.

Stable release 8.3 / 2014

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

.
Advantages & disadvantages:
Why should we use MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory)?

MATLAB has several advantages over other methods or languages:

Its basic data element is the matrix. A simple integer is considered an matrix of one row and one column. Several
mathematical operations that work on arrays or matrices are built-in to the Matlab environment. For example, cross-
products, dot-products, determinants, inverse matrices.
Vectorized operations. Adding two arrays together needs only one command, instead of a for or while loop.
The graphical output is optimized for interaction. You can plot your data very easily, and then change colors, sizes,
scales, etc, by using the graphical interactive tools.
Matlabs functionality can be greatly expanded by the addition of toolboxes. These are sets of specific functions that
provided more specialized functionality. Ex: Excel link allows data to be written in a format recognized by Excel,
Statistics Toolbox allows more specialized statistical manipulation of data (Anova, Basic Fits, etc)

There are also disadvantages:

It uses a large amount of memory and on slow computers it is very hard to use.
It sits on top of Windows, getting as much CPU time as Windows allows it to have. This makes real-time applications
very complicated.
