Which is better for data analysis: MatLab or Visual Basic?

AI Thread Summary
When choosing between MATLAB and Visual Basic for data analysis of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data, MATLAB is often considered the superior option. It offers specialized toolboxes designed for data analysis, along with robust support for matrix operations, making it particularly well-suited for handling complex data sets. For someone with a background in C++, transitioning to MATLAB programming is generally straightforward, allowing for efficient implementation of data analysis tasks.

Hey there. I've this question in mind whether to pick between MatLab of Visual Basic to write my program for data analysis for Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) in the ground system. May i know which is better and why? I learned c++ before only and currently trying to venture into the other two...thanks in advance:)

I have not worked with IMU data analysis. But I would say that Matlab is the best choice.
There are special toolboxes for data analysis and the support for matrices and operations on them is excellent. If you know C++ I would say that learning Matlab programming is rather easy.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
