  • Matlab is great, but I’ve never seen it used outside of an academic setting. Mathworks offers relatively affordable licensing to academia in the hopes of training future graduates to advocate for its use in a professional setting. However, their corporate licensing is crazy expensive, so it’s usually worthwhile to just learn numpy/pandas or R instead.

    One toolbox that I think Matlab is really excellent in is image analysis. I used it a ton on microscope images during grad school, doing image registration, and nothing I’ve tried since has made it as easy.
