Introduction
Matlab is a computational numeric/simbolic tool used in engineering in the design and test phases of a project, the most interesting features IMO are:
- Generate embedded code (VHDL,Verilog,C)
- Digital Signal Processing
- Image Processing
- Control Engineering
- Multidomain Modeling (Mechanical, Electrical, etc..)
- Parallel Processing
- Instruments data aquisition
Matlab Workspace
Matlab workspace provides an integrated programming and data analysis, for tasks that would be very time consuming to do in a normal language among the most common tasks we can list:
- Plot Functions
- Matrix Operations
- Create/test new algorithms
- Import/Export data

Simulink
Simulink is a graphical tool used to simulate and design multidomain projects, based in block diagrams. When we say "multidomain" we mean that we can mix blocks used in eletrical Engineering, or Mechanical engineering.
