14.1 Introduction
MATLAB stands for MATrixLABoratory. It is a technical computing environment for high-performance numeric computation and visualization. It integrates numerical analysis, matrix computation, signal processing and graphics in an easy-to-use environment, where problems and solutions are mathematically expressed instead of traditional programming. MATLAB allows us to express the entire algorithm in a few dozen lines, to compute the solution with great accuracy in a few minutes on a computer and to readily manipulate a three-dimensional display of the result in colour.
MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is a matrix that does not require dimensioning. It enables us to solve many numerical ...
