Indeed, this simple looking spreadsheet program hides pretty deep capabilities for performing such numerical tasks as writing formulas, finding means or graphing. Seasoned users will get a peek at just-released news, too.įor many engineers and scientists, Excel is the new graph-paper/slide-rule/graphing calculator (choose one or all). Image courtesy NAGĭE takes a top-level look at a number of intensely capable packages, their origins and their options. Now, whether you crave the ability to clean up, analyze, and interpolate reams of acquired or simulated data, “write” and solve integrals in a snap, benefit from automatic unit conversion, or compose scripts that guide other users through standard procedures, you’ll find onscreen power like never before.ĭesign engineers seeking a broad range of mathematical and statistical functionality important to rapid product prototyping without the considerable expense and bother of sourcing multiple MATLAB toolboxes, can now access 1,415 rigorously tested numerical routines in the Mark 22 Release of the multipurpose NAG Toolbox for MATLAB. The rise of PCs, workstations, and mainframes spread numerical analysis from its high-end roots in academia and proprietary industry enclaves to the desktops and eventually laptops of every-day users. The MATLAB development environment, now with support for Windows XP Professional 圆4 Edition, lets users interactively analyze and visualize data, develop algorithms, and manage projects. Whether images from the Mars Mariner missions, CAT scans, sensor data from automotive crash testing, or stress values from mechanical simulations, raw data mushroomed and we scrambled to release its deepest meaning. Just a little too late for me, the mid-’80s saw a tumble of development efforts for software packages that could handle the detailed data generated across every field of science and engineering. Numerical analysis tools would have helped when I was in grad school.
