Introduction to MATLAB
MATLAB was originally developed as a MATrix LABoratory in the late seventies.
Today, it is much more powerful and remains convenient and
fast in numeric compuations of matrices.
Hence, it is also powerful for graphics.
MATLAB has many special toolboxes such as optimization, signal
processing and wavelet transfroms.
But its Symbolic Math Toolbox is based on Maple,
and is not as convenient as Maple for symbolic computations.
