MATLAB is an interactive, numerical computation program. It has powerful built-in routines that enable a very wide variety of computations. It also has easy to use graphics commands that make the visualization of results immediately available. In some installations MATLAB will also have a Symbolic Toolbox which allows MATLAB to perform symbolic calculations as well as numerical calculations. In this chapter we will describe how MATLAB handles simple numerical expressions and mathematical formulas
