MATLAB- what is it used for?

To get u inspired...let's see what all it can do

1. Matlab is a software used for analysis of systems that can be modeled as matrices. These include digital filters, signals, communication channels, mechanical systems etc. This has widely been used to perform simulations and analysis of signal processing, neural networks and control systems algorithms by researchers. Matlab is probably the single most important software you are expected to be familiar with as an electronics engg student, followed by Spice and VHDL.
   
2. Complex calculus solves for example, Linear System, Polinomy, Matrix, Diferential Equation, Diferential Equation Systems, etc.
3. Make GUIs (graphical user interface)
   

There are many toolboxes in it and the two m interested in particular are:

1.Image Processing Toolbox™ software provides a comprehensive set of reference-standard algorithms and graphical tools for image processing, analysis, visualization, and algorithm development. You can restore noisy or degraded images, enhance images for improved intelligibility, extract features, analyze shapes and textures, and register two images.



2.Bioinformatics Toolbox™ offers computational molecular biologists and other research scientists an open and extensible environment in which to explore ideas, prototype new algorithms, and build applications in drug research, genetic engineering, and other genomics and proteomics projects.


The programming in matlab is similar to C language and therefore it will not be a problem for most of u.
