Software toolkit: Matlab

MATLAB is a high-level language for technical computing which is often used by engineers to help them design systems or analyse a system’s behaviour.

The following represents a beginner’s route into the MATLAB package. Although we use version 6, almost all the basic commands are valid in MATLAB version 5.x.
