hi folks,
I guess, many of us know what is MATLAB, some have used it and some just know about it. But here's a small (really small history of the great tool) to really know what was the inspiration behind MATLAB. No historical dates though!!! so without delay.
Jack Little and Cleve Moler, the founders of The MathWorks, recognized the need among engineers and scientists for more powerful and productive computation environments beyond those provided by languages such as Fortran and C. In response to that need, they combined their expertise in mathematics, engineering, and computer science to develop MATLAB®, a high-performance technical computing environment. MATLAB combines comprehensive math and graphics functions with a powerful high-level language. In addition to MATLAB, The MathWorks now develops and markets Simulink®, a product for simulating nonlinear dynamic systems
well if are the kind who needs date well you have google and this link which i guess will ignite the quest more.
