So you need MATLAB for just about everything in Biomedical Engineering. You could probably get along without it, but only if you really restricted what you want to do to your own software that you would have to write to emulate what MATLAB already does.
Question
I am a biomedical student and want to know how MATLAB can be used by a biomedical engg.

As an internal medicine physician (M.D.) and biomedical engineer (M.S.), I have used MATLAB since 1994 to model physiological and other control systems (Control Systems Toolbox), experiment design and statistical analysis of experimental data, linear and nonlinear parameter estimation and system identification (Statistics Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, Global Optimization Toolbox, System Identification Toolbox), signal processing of EEGs, EKGs, and other signals (Signal Processing Toolbox, Wavelet Toolbox), and some image processing (Image Processing Toolbox), although I intend to do more medical image processing now that I need to learn it. I’ve also used the Neural Network Toolbox from time to time to do nonlinear classification, and I’ve experimented with the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox with physiologic control systems as well, since physiologic control systems are in fact ‘fuzzy’.
