MathWorks offers this program as a one-stop-shop platform for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. MATLAB is foremost a language of technical computing rather than an interactive environment. With these features, it has become a tool for students of math and engineering as well as professionals in similar industries. This includes a toolbox with the MuPAD engine where users can access symbolic computing abilities.
The platform was developed by MathWorks to provide users an environment to process matrixes, plot data, and create different user interfaces.
MATLAB derives its name from ‘matrix laboratory’ as it is simultaneously a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and a proprietary programming language.
