BIDM.Asset.Abstract MATLAB, short for MATrix LABoratory, is a high-level language for scientific computing and visualization. It has a user-friendly environment and enables users to integrate computation, visualization, and programming using familiar mathematical notation. The basic data element in MATLAB is an array that does not require dimensioning. MATLAB allows algorithm developers to solve many computational problems in a fraction of the time it would take to write programs in C or FORTRAN. MATLAB features a collection of special-purpose toolboxes that extend the functionality of MATLAB to application specific domains. Some toolboxes are the signal processing toolbox, image processing toolbox, neural network toolbox, wavelet toolbox, etc. Users can call existing C and/or FORTRAN code from MATLAB through MEX files. MATLAB can also be used as a computation engine and can be invoked from C and/or FORTRAN code. META
