Introduction to MATLAB and SIMULINK

MATLAB is a high-performance, interactive numeric computation and visualization

environment that combines the advantages of hundreds of packaged advanced math and
graphics functions with high-level language. Because the flexible MATLAB language is matrixoriented, it is the natural language for technical problem solving, allowing you to customize
and extend MATLAB and add new functions as needed. MATLAB handles numerical
calculations and high-quality graphics, provides a convenient interface to built-in state-ofthe-art subroutine libraries, and incorporates a high-level programming language. MATLAB is
the natural environment for analysis, algorithm prototyping, and application development.
MATLAB is now the international standard for high level mathematical computing. Industry
and academia worldwide are utilizing the powerful features that MATLAB offers in a wide
range of application areas.
