MATLAB

High-level language and development environment.

MATLABOverview

MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran.

NEW

Note: Now requires OS X 10.10 or later.
