    A Brief Introduction to Engineering Computation with MATLAB
    (OpenStax-CNX, 2017-11-27) Serhat Beyenir
    MATLAB has become a defector standard in many elds of engineering and science. Even a casual exploration of MATLAB should unveil its computational power however a closer look at MATLAB’s graphics and data analysis tools as well as interaction with other applications and programing languages prove why MATLAB is a very strong application for technical computing. The standard MATLAB installation includes graphics features to visualize engineering and scienti c data in 2-D and 3-D plots. We can interactivity build graphs and generate MATLAB command output that can be saved for use in the future. The saved-instructions can be called again with di erent data set to build new plots. The plots created with MATLAB can be exported in various le formats (e.g. .jpg, .png) to embed in Microsoft Word documents or PowerPoint slideshows. MATLAB also contains interactive tools to explore and analyze data. For example, we can visualize data with one of the many plotting routines, zoom in to plots to take measurements, perform statistical calculations, t curves to data and evaluate the obtained expression for a desired value. MATLAB interacts with other applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel) and can be called from C code, C++ or Fortran programming language
