MATLAB
MATLAB is a high-level language.
MATLAB has an interactive environment.
Computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional
programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran.

Key Features
High-level language for technical computing
Development environment for managing code, files, and data
Interactive tools for design and problem solving
Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis,
filtering, optimization, and numerical integration
2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualizing data
Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces
Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external
applications and languages, such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, COM, and
Microsoft Excel
