About MATLAB
MATLAB is a computer program designed for technical calculations. Its name is an abbreviation of “MATrix LABoratory”. In this program, matrix computations are implemented in a straightforward manner. However, many other pre-programmed routines are available. In addition, it is possible to implement user-defined calculation routines. MATLAB allows users to implement calculations in relatively short programming time. When these calculations have been performed, they can be visualised by means of several plot-routines.
A lot of the information currently provided here about MATLAB is outdated. We will update this consecutively.
