MathWorks MATLAB R2008a
The MATLAB product family provides a high-level programming language, an interactive technical computing environment, and functions for:
Algorithm development
Data analysis and visualization
Numeric computation
MATLAB serves as the foundation for all other MathWorks products.
Introduction
MATLAB® is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, you can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran.
You can use MATLAB in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modeling and analysis, and computational biology. Add-on toolboxes (collections of special-purpose MATLAB functions, available separately) extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems in these application areas.
MATLAB provides a number of features for documenting and sharing your work. You can integrate your MATLAB code with other languages and applications, and distribute your MATLAB algorithms and applications.
Key Features:
High-level language for technical computing
Development environment for managing code, files, and data
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

MATLAB® 7.6
Latest Features
Version 7.6
Released: 01 Mar 2008
Version 7.6, part of R2008a, offers a broad range of improvements in the following areas, including a major update to object-oriented programming capabilities.
Language and Programming
Major enhancements to object-oriented programming capabilities allowing easier development and maintenance of large applications and data structures. Many new features, including:
New classdef keyword enabling you to define properties, methods, and events in a class definition file
New handle class with reference behavior, aiding the creation of data structures such as linked lists
Events and listeners allowing the monitoring of object property changes and actions
JIT/Accelerator support providing significantly improved object performance over previous releases
Several enhancements to the development environment to support developing and using classes including improved support for objects in the variable editor and M-lint warnings specific to classes
Ability to manage namespace by placing classes and functions in packages
New clearvars function for clearing or keeping specified variables
New onCleanup function to specify any cleanup tasks that need to be performed by MATLAB when a function completes
Development Environment
Ability to customize and rearrange the MATLAB Desktop and Editor toolbars
Expanded code-folding support in the Editor, providing the ability to collapse cells and language constructs (including for, if, switch, and more)
Enhanced inspection of structures and objects with the Variable Editor, previously known as the Array Editor
File comparison tool expanded to allow comparison of directories, MAT-files and binary files
Several enhancements to automatic M-file publishing, including support for functions and the ability to define configurations on a per-file basis
M-Lint code checker support for Embedded MATLAB™ features
Mathematics
Ability to insert custom FFTW and LAPACK libraries
New algorithms for ldl, logm, and funm based on recent numerical methods Research
Graphics and GUI Building
Ability to link plots to workspace variables, synchronizing displays of changing data
Support for "brushing" (interactively selecting) data in plots for analysis and manipulation
Brushed variables in one plot also will highlight in other plots linked to the same workspace data
New control uitable, accessible from GUIDE, enabling the display and editing of tabular information in graphical user interfaces
File I/O and External Interfacing
MEX support for Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008, OpenWATCOM 1.7, and Intel® FORTRAN 10.1 software
mmreader multimedia reader expanded to support QuickTime video on the Apple® Macintosh® platform (previously released on Microsoft® Windows® platforms)
Performance and Large Data Set Handling
New memory function providing memory information such as largest block available, providing diagnostics of memory problems on Windows platforms
JIT/Accelerator support enhanced to statements executed at the MATLAB command line and in cell mode in the editor, providing improved performance in these environments
Automatic multithreaded computation providing improved performance of supported functions on computers with multiple processors
Significant speed improvement in multiplication of sparse matrices
