Download Matlab 7.3

Matlab is an interactive and mathematical environment for developing algorithms, visualizing data, analyzing data and numerical calculations. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers have released version 7.3 with the following list of changes:

Version 7.3, part of Release 2006b, includes the following enhancements:

development environment:

• M-Lint code checker improvements, including ability to disable classes of warnings, support in Simulink Embedded MATLAB Editor, support for MATLAB Compiler messages, and display of messages in Japanese
• New file comparison tool for easier assessment of differences between any two M-files
• Enhancements to debugging functions, including an option to save breakpoints that can be restored in a future session
• Improved inspection of workspace variables with new statistical columns in the Workspace Browser and the ability to view time series objects in the Array Editor
• M-code generation from Import Wizard, for programmatic access to interactively imported files
• New look and feel on Linux and Solaris platforms
• Help browser support for exact-phrase and wildcard searches

Mathematics:

• New ldl function for full factorization and solving for Hermitian matrices
• New permutation vector option for lu, luinc, and ldl functions
• Upper and lower triangular factor options for chol and ldl for improved performance and memory efficiency

Graphics:

• Interactive page layout and print preview allowing customization of plots and page position before printing
• Support for mouse scroll wheel in figure Zoom Tool

File I/O:

• New functions giving access to more than 200 routines in the HDF5 C API library, supporting reading and writing of complex data types, HDF5 data subsetting capabilities, and other HDF5 features.

Large Data Set Handling and Performance:

• Elimination of temporary memory copies when calling M-file functions and some built-in functions in-place (ie, x = myfunction(x)) for easier handling of large data sets and improve performance
• Ability to read and write MAT files greater than 2 GB on 64-bit platforms via new switches to the save function
• Ability to view larger arrays in Array Editor
• Full JIT/Accelerator support for 64-bit platforms, allowing faster code execution
