![]() You duly pay for the toolbox and are happy once again. After a bit of searching you realise that the function you need is called fmincon but, when you try to use it, you discover that it is part of an add-on called the Optimization Toolbox which costs a couple of hundred pounds. One day though, you find yourself needing to find the minimum of a constrained nonlinear multivariable function. At first it seems that it can do everything that you require and so you are happy. Let’s say that you are a new academic researcher and you have just purchased a copy of MATLAB at a cost of several hundred pounds. ![]() There is one big problem though – much of this stuff doesn’t actually come with the basic install of MATLAB. If you have some maths to do then MATLAB can probably help you out – curve fitting, statistics, plotting, signal processing, optimization, linear algebra, symbolic calculus – the list just goes on and on. MATLAB is an incredibly powerful piece of software that is used by students and researchers in a wide variety of disciplines.
