What is MATLAB®?
 MATLAB is an acronym of MATrix LABoratory
 MATLAB®/Simulink® is a powerful software tool
─ Founders: John N. Little, Cleve Moler, Steven Bangert
 It provides
─ mathematical computations
─ matrix manipulation
─ creating scripts
─ Function
─ implementation of algorithms
─ GUI design
─ Analyzing and visualizing data

Brief History of MATLAB
 The first 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.
 Mathematical Origins
─ The mathematical basis for the first version of MATLAB was a
series of research papers by J. H. Wilkinson and 18 of his
colleagues, published between 1965 and 1970 and later
collected in Handbook for Automatic Computation, Volume II,
Linear Algebra, edited by Wilkinson and C. Reinsch. These papers
present algorithms, implemented in Algol 60, for solving matrix
linear equation and eigenvalue problems.

Brief History of MATLAB
 Historic MATLAB (1970- 1980)
─ MATLAB—an acronym for Matrix Laboratory—in Fortran,
with matrix as the only data type
─ an interactive matrix calculator
 Commercial MATLAB (1983)
─ extended version of MATLAB in C
 PC-MATLAB made its debut in December 1984 at the
IEEE Conference on Decision and Control in Las
Vegas.
 Pro-MATLAB - Control System Toolbox™ (1985)
