Scientific computing is widely used in
solving complicated scientific problems. As a useful scientific computing
application, Matlab, one of well-known languages, works on commercial mathematical
aspects.
Matlab
represents matrix and laboratory. Compare to traditional computer languages, C
and C++, Matlab is software application which can quickly deal with various scientific
computing problems. Matlab is considered as one of the standard software tools
in scientific fields.
Matlab
is used for "a range of applications, including signal processing and
communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and
measurement, computational finance, and computational biology." (Wiki)
The Matlab’s main functions are listed as
follow.
Matlab combines the high
performance numerical computation and visualization
together and provides plentiful built-in functions.
Matlab’s algorithm
ensures the accurate results of computing.
Matlab provides variable developing tools, such as Matlab editor, M-lint
code checker, Matlab profiler
and directory reports.
Matlab provides a simple and easily used developing language, M
language. M language has a similar syntax and style as C language. M language is open source language. The developers
can view and fix the exist codes or they can add their new customized function
in the codes
Matlab’s
toolboxes enforce the supporting for the technical and mathematical special application.
Because of
Matlab’s useful function, I used it in my last semester’s math 178 course which
the professor asked our group to build a mathematical model for diamond ring
price. Matlab did help us to do a great job on our project.
Hi Yibei!
ReplyDeleteWhile I have heard of Matlab before, I have never really used it before and looked into using it. It seems like Matlab can be very helpful when used effectively in a large variety of applications. Thanks for the interesting blog. I think I am going to try using Matlab in a project that I am currently working on.
