Matlab Information
Matlab is an excellent environment for experimentation in
scientific computing. It is not the most efficient environment
for large-scale simulations, although with some effort,
Matlab can be used in conjunction with C and Fortran routines.
Matlab is a product of
The Mathworks.
For a tutorial, see
A Free Matlab Online Tutorial or
Another Tutorial
You can start from our
class note on matlab
before reading these materials.
