#MATLAB 2012 DOCUMENTATION SERIES#
I used MathCad to develop and test the equations to take the signals (voltages) and convert them (through multiple steps, including getting "scaling" information from other files) into a series of three components representing roll, pitch, and yaw (these eventually were converted to rotation vectors). For example, I might want to know the 3-D orientation of an object (roll, pitch, yaw), given voltages measured by coils fixed to the object inside a stationary magnetic field.

In some cases, complicated calculations involving these data needed to be performed. I needed something that would let me express mathematics to do some simple analysis, make a few plots (for my own edification and for teaching purposes), and, most important, would let me create documents that combined text, math (meaning equations, usually), and graphics that could be used for teaching or other didactic purposes.Īt a certain point, I needed to analyze a lot of data, often multi-channel analog samples from a variety of sources. Here are some considerations that I've used.

It really depends on what you need to do in deciding which system is "best". I've used all of the "M" systems (MathCad, MatLab, Mathematica, and Maple).
