MATLAB is a proprietary programming language and numerical computing environment developed by MathWorks, widely used for matrix computations, algorithm development, data analysis, and simulation. Engineers, scientists, and researchers rely on it for tasks in signal processing, control systems, and machine learning, often paired with its Simulink tool for modeling dynamic systems.
