MATLAB

MATLAB is a high-level language for numerical computation, visualization and application development. It also provides an interactive environment for iterative exploration, design and problem solving. It provides vast library of mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, numerical integration and solving ordinary differential equations. It provides built-in graphics for visualizing data and tools for creating custom plots.

MATLAB's programming interface gives development tools for improving code quality maintainability and maximizing performance.  It provides tools for building applications with custom graphical interfaces. It provides functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages such as C, Java, .NET and Microsoft Excel.

Creating and modifying Simulink models and simulating system dynamics. Modeling continuous time, discrete time, and hybrid systems. Modifying solver settings for simulation accuracy and speed. Building hierarchy into a Simulink model. Creating reusable model components using subsystems, libraries, and model references
