MATLAB

Engineers' calculation software

MATLAB is a proprietary programming language and computing environment developed by MathWorks, widely used in engineering, science, and mathematics for numerical analysis, matrix manipulation, and data visualization.

The name derives from "matrix laboratory," reflecting its origins in linear algebra.

We ran the simulation in MATLAB.

The professor requires all assignments to be submitted as MATLAB scripts. (Lowercase matlab is nonstandard.)
