MATLAB\u00a0is a\u00a0proprietary<\/a>\u00a0multi-paradigm<\/a>\u00a0programming language<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0numeric computing<\/a>\u00a0environment developed by\u00a0MathWorks<\/a>. MATLAB allows\u00a0matrix<\/a>\u00a0manipulations, plotting of\u00a0functions<\/a>\u00a0and data, implementation of\u00a0algorithms<\/a>, creation of\u00a0user interfaces<\/a>, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.<\/p>\n

Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the\u00a0MuPAD<\/a>\u00a0symbolic engine<\/a>\u00a0allowing access to\u00a0symbolic computing<\/a>\u00a0abilities. An additional package,\u00a0Simulink<\/a>, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and\u00a0model-based design<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0dynamic<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0embedded systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of 2020, MATLAB has more than 4 million users worldwide. They come from various backgrounds of\u00a0engineering<\/a>,\u00a0science<\/a>, and\u00a0economics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

MATLAB was invented by mathematician and computer programmer Cleve Moler. The idea for MATLAB was based on his 1960s PhD thesis. Moler became a math professor at the University of New Mexico and started developing MATLAB for his students as a hobby. He developed MATLAB’s initial linear algebra programming in 1967 with his one-time thesis advisor, George Forsythe. This was followed by Fortran code for linear equations in 1971.<\/p>\n

In the beginning (before version 1.0) MATLAB “was not a programming language; it was a simple interactive matrix calculator. There were no programs, no toolboxes, no graphics. And no ODEs or FFTs.”<\/p>\n

The first early version of MATLAB was completed in the late 1970s. The software was disclosed to the public for the first time in February 1979 at the Naval Postgraduate School in California. Early versions of MATLAB were simple matrix calculators with 71 pre-built functions. At the time, MATLAB was distributed for free to universities. Moler would leave copies at universities he visited and the software developed a strong following in the math departments of university campuses.<\/p>\n

In the 1980s, Cleve Moler met John N. Little. They decided to reprogram MATLAB in C and market it for the IBM desktops that were replacing mainframe computers at the time. John Little and programmer Steve Bangert re-programmed MATLAB in C, created the MATLAB programming language, and developed features for toolboxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
