What is MATLAB? It is a commercial mathematical software produced by MathWorks Company in the United States, which is applied to data analysis, wireless communication, deep learning, image processing and computer vision, signal processing, quantitative finance and risk management, robots, control systems and other fields. MATLAB is matrix &；; The combination of the word laboratory means matrix laboratory, and the software is mainly oriented to the high-tech computing environment of scientific computing, visualization and interactive programming.
As can be seen from the above definition, this software is used in some advanced scientific and technological fields. So these scientific research structures are inseparable from it? It's not impossible, it's extremely inconvenient. Because this software was born in the University of Mexico in the 1970s, and then it was packaged by some commercial companies before it was truly commercialized. From the development to the 1990s, MATLAB has become the standard computing software in the international control field. The irreplaceable performance is: 1. Everyone is used to doing scientific research with this software. If you change tools, there will definitely be adaptation problems. 2. After decades of development, this software has accumulated a large number of class libraries (that is, it is convenient for researchers to do analysis), just like an experienced old driver, maybe he will fly with your scientific research project. 3. Free software does not have rich class libraries and tools. Domestic software is not easy to use, few people buy it, and after-sales service is not guaranteed. The most important point is that the data of some scientific research papers must be the experimental data obtained by this software.
If people in China think it's pirated, they may ask. But if you want to publish a paper internationally, it is illegal to use piracy, and you don't count. The University of Science and Technology was listed in the "entity list" by the United States, and the development company of MATLAB suspended the relevant authorization. If the United States does this, is there nothing we can do? No, in fact, this is also an opportunity for the rise of our domestic software. Besides, our clever students must have a way. They saw the news that the MATLAB-like tool developed by python was on the way, tested in three months and went online in half a year. In fact, using open source substitutes such as Python and Julia is far from MATLAB. "The underlying technical strength of MATLAB is very advanced, especially the mathematical operation speed is extremely fast." ,
"Don't stop using it. MATLAB is very fast. We basically only use this software, whether doing experiments or writing papers. You can't graduate without it. . . ",
"MATLAB is a huge and complete software. If it really stops, the degree of influence depends on which functions you use. For some basic algorithms, such as drawing, python, octave and other software can be used instead. However, some simulation functions, such as simulink, a tool based on MATLAB, are often used in some special industries, especially R&D and design majors, so it is difficult to find alternative software. "
These are temporary difficulties or inconveniences encountered by some students. Trump just taught me a lesson about the importance of independent property rights and intellectual property rights. At present, people in China use less and less piracy, and the concept of knowledge payment has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Just as the United States restricts academic exchanges in some universities, it tells us which universities are afraid of in the United States.
Students, the difficulties are temporary. I believe that with our cleverness and diligence, we can overcome these temporary difficulties and meet our bright future.
