MATLAB
     
        An interactive program from {The MathWorks} for
        high-performance numeric computation and {visualisation}.
        MATLAB integrates {numerical analysis}, {matrix} computation,
        {signal processing}, and graphics in an easy-to-use
        environment.  MATLAB is built on sophisticated matrix software
        for analysing {linear equation}s.  The tools supplied can be
        used for applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering,
        finance and other areas dealing with complex numerical
        calculations.
