MATLAB, which stands for MATrix LABoratory, is a state-of-the-art mathematical software
package, which is used extensively in both academia and industry. It is an interactive program for
numerical computation and data visualization, which along with its programming capabilities
provides a very useful tool for almost all areas of science and engineering. Unlike other
mathematical packages, such as MAPLE or MATHEMATICA, MATLAB cannot perform
symbolic manipulations without the use of additional Toolboxes. It remains however, one of the
leading software packages for numerical computation.
