Introduction
- MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) is a special-
purpose computer program optimized to perform
engineering and scientific calculations.
- To implement the MATLAB programming language
- To provides a very extensive library of predefined functions
- To make technical programming tasks easier and more efficient.
- How to write, debug, and optimize good
MATLAB programs.
Disadvantages of MATLAB
- It is an interpreted language and can execute more
slowly than compiled languages.
- By properly structuring the program
- By using the MATLAB compiler
- Cost
- A full copy of MATLAB is five to ten times more expensive than conventional compiler
- Reduced time for engineers or scientists to create a working program
- An inexpensive Student Edition of MATLAB

- The MATLAB Workspace
- A workspace is the collection of all the variables and arrays that can be used by MATLAB when a particular command, M-file, or function is executing.
Workspace Browser shows a list the variables defined in the workspace Array Editor allows the user to edit any variable or array selected in the Workspace Browser.
