MatLab Report

The objective of this effort is to create a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving using technology. Through Thinkfinity, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems is collaborating with the science and quantitative faculty to create lessons that can be used by high school and first -year college students to work interactively with data to solve problems. MatLab is the tool of choice. It gives the user the ability to create visual models of large data sets and is used in the science and finance areas. The key features of MatLab: • Interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving • Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, and numerical integration • 2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualizing data • Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces • Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages, such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, COM, and Microsoft Excel
