MATLAB is used in a lot of different ways by lots of people in occupations you might not necessarily think about when it comes to a math product. In fact, math is used in ways that many people don’t consider. For example, video games simply wouldn’t exist without a lot of relatively complex math. However, even the chair you’re sitting in required some use of math to ensure that it would perform as expected. A mission to Mars or to the bottom of the ocean would be impossible without all sorts of different math applications. Even the mixtures of food we eat require an explanation based on math principles. In short, you might be surprised at just how many different ways MATLAB is being used, and this chapter tells you only about ten of the most popular uses. Explaining every potential MATLAB use would likely require an entire book.
