Matlab
MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive programming environment for numerical computation and visualization developed by MathWorks. Questions should be tagged with either [tag:matlab] or [tag:octave], but not both, unless the question explicitly involves both packages. When using this tag, please mention the MATLAB release you're working with (e.g. R2017a).
