What is MATLAB?

Matlab stands for Matrix Laboratory. The software facilitates the scientific and mathematical computing.

Why learn MATLAB?

Matlab is considered as the de-facto standard for mathematical computing. It has been reported that even rocket technologies are designed using Matlab. Now days, in engineering courses, almost all courses seem to be designed around Matlab. The manual is more than 8000 pages, and its rivals Mathematica are lagging so behind that they are almost not in the picture. There are no Open Source Code alternative for this. Thus, a modern engineering student needs to learn MatLab.
