MATLAB is used by data professionals in machine learning, robotics, and wireless communications. It enables engineers and scientists to experiment with new ideas before implementing them: a structural engineer preparing to build a multi-story structure, for example, may use MATLAB to run simulations involving structural integrity in extreme weather. 

Millions of engineers and scientists worldwide use MATLAB for a range of applications, in industry and academia, including deep learning and machine learning, signal processing and communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement, computational finance, and computational biology.
