Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB
[MATLAB] is being used by most of the engineering students at Virginia Tech. Most of the time, we use it for simulation purposes. It can also be used to evaluate complex integrals and summation. Its Signal Processing toolbox is very helpful for doing related projects. I also use it as a high-level programming tool.
- Very simple and easy-to-use programming features (m-files)
- Very strong technical toolboxes for almost any engineering needs (esp. in electrical engineering)
- Effective and beautiful plotting features
- Its debugging environment can be improved (could be more similar to C++ or C# editing environments)
- Its new plotting environment is very different from the previous versions! It is improved in options, but a bit hard for an old user to catch up with
- It would have been excellent if Matlab's usage of RAM could be limited. More precisely, I would like to have the option not to let Matlab eat all the memory!
- Simplicity
- Effectiveness
- Strong and all-inclusive (I almost don't need any other software for conducting my simulations and evaluating my results)
- I found many of my mistakes in analysis after simulating using [MATLAB]
- I gained insight into my problems even more
- Its parallel programming feature made some of my calculations "doable"!
Apart from Matlab, I used Matematica for some of my integral evaluations. Mathematica is also a "clean" and easy-to-use software that solves symbolic math problems (even better than Matlab for symbolic math). I also used Anaconda and Spyder for my career so far.
