Abstract: We show how MATLAB has evolved over more than 30 years from a simple matrix calculator to a powerful technical computing environment. We demonstrate several examples of MATLAB applications. We conclude with a discussion of current developments, including parallel computation on multicore, multicomputer, and cloud systems.
