MATLAB is a Math Works-developed programming language. It evolved as a matrix programming language where linear algebra programming was easy. It allows the use of a matrix, feature and data manipulation, algorithm execution, user-net interface creations, interfacting with programming written in a specific language, such as C, C++, Java and FORTRAN; data analyzation; data develation. Matrix lab is a fourth generation high-level language programming framework and an interactive platform for numeric computation, displayed and programming. It has several built-in commands and math features to aid you with arithmetic, plot and numerical process calculation. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Learn Matlab Through C Programming (Leo John F, Saravana Kumar S)
