MATLAB is a high-level programming language that is commonly used in industry and academia. The programming platform is designed to allow users to analyze and design systems or products using a matrix-based language called MATLAB. It has many applications and can be used to perform functions such as simple calculations or simulating complex systems.

The purpose of this guide is to help students download and install MATLAB, as well as understand the basics of the interface and common MATLAB tasks. You may wish to bookmark this guide for future use, as many ERAU courses and degree programs utilize MATLAB.

Additionally, the ERAU-Worldwide College of Aviation will continue to enhance this guide by adding how-to content to the Using MATLAB page that targets specific areas of need for ERAU students.
