Abstract
MATLAB® is a soft ware package developed by The MathWorks, Inc., founded by Cleve Moler, Jack Little and Steve Bangert in 1984, which has its headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts (http://www.mathworks.com). MATLAB was designed to perform mathematical calculations, to analyze and visualize data, and to facilitate the writing of new soft ware programs. The advantage of this soft ware is that it combines comprehensive math and graphics functions with a powerful high-level language.
