Introduction

MATLAB is an application based on a scripting language specifically designed for expressing matrix and array mathematics. This program allows the user to plot functions and data, perform matrix manipulations, and create user interfaces. There is also an additional package available for MATLAB called Simulink, which adds graphical programming for simulating multi-domain dynamic systems.
