Matlab provides you a huge number of toolboxes to plot graphs, visualize complex datasets. You can use matlab to perform complex scientefic calculatios, it also lets you visualize and implement complex mathematical functions. Moreover there are simulation softwares besides just Matlab, Simulink and Simscap, you can simulate your model there and test your model virtually before actual implementaion of those models, Basically matlab is having a huge number of libraries to analyze complex datasets, preprocess them and visualize them.
