In-Depth Information
Figure 1-8.
MATLAB is compatible with the common file formats of data and best-known graphics formats, such as GIF,
JPEG, BMP, EPS, TIFF, PNG, HDF, AVI, and PCX. As a result, it is possible to export MATLAB diagrams to other
applications, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint, or desktop publishing software. Before exporting, you
can create and apply style templates that contain designs, fonts, the definition of the thickness of lines, etc., necessary
to comply with the specifications for publication.
1.1.4 Numeric Calculation
MATLAB contains mathematical, statistical, and engineering functions that support most of the operations to be
carried out in these fields. These functions, developed by math experts, are the foundation of the MATLAB language.
To cite some examples, MATLAB implements the following math and analysis functions for data in the following fields:
•
Manipulation of matrices and linear algebra
•
Polynomials and interpolation
•
Differential and integral calculus
•
Fourier analysis and filters
•
Statistics and data analysis
•
Optimization and numerical integration
•
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs)
•
Differential equations in partial derivatives (PDEs)
•
Sparse matrix operations
