Re: Excel vs. Matlab
It's really not fair to compare these two programs. They are designed for different tasks. Excel is a spreadsheet program, Matlab is not. I believe Matlab is short for matrix laboratory.

"MATLAB is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numerical computation. Using MATLAB, you can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran."

I do like excel though. That program can do more then most people give it credit for!
