What differentiates MathWorks MATLAB from other similar products?
One of Matlab's strongest point and maybe the greatest area of differentiation from similar products is the huge library of pre-defined functions available on Matlab. I leverage this pre-defined functions to access tested and pre-packaged solutions to day to day technical tasks that I encounter, during the course of my work.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Matlab has a powerful matrix library. This enables me treat elements as multi-dimensional matrices and infuse linear algebra into my calculations. The ability to do the aforementioned gives me access to Matlab's toolbox libraries , which aids me to complete complex tasks easily and faster.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Matlab is built as an interpreted programming language ,and therefore its execution speed is slow. Matlab also comes with a slow learning curve , albeit that learning it is well worth it , due to the benefits that comes with the knowledge.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Matlab is my most preferred software for analyzing multi-dimensional elements like space truss and space frame. I use it for creating shear first diagrams, bending moment diagrams, and so on. Matlab is a tool that I will recommend for all engineers and while it is not a mandatory skill to have in my field of engineering , it is a skill that provides a whole lot of benefits.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
