MATLAB was originally developed as a MATrix LABoratory in the late seventies. Today, it is much more powerful and remains convenient and fast in numeric computations of matrices. Hence, it is also powerful for graphics. MATLAB has many special toolboxes such as optimization, signal processing and wavelet transforms. But its Symbolic Math Toolbox is based on Maple, and is not as convenient as Maple for symbolic computations. For details, refer to The Student Edition of MATLAB, The Language of Technical Computing (The Math Works, Inc., published by Prentice-Hall, Inc. 1997), or visit http://www.mathworks.com.
