MathWorks MatLab

MATLAB^® by MathWorks combines a desktop environment tuned for iterative analysis and design processes with a programming language that expresses matrix and array mathematics directly.  It includes the  Live Editor  for creating scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text in an executable notebook.
