Summary
The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB was originally written to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK and EISPACK projects, which together represent the state of the art in software for matrix computation. MATLAB converts user commands (including M-files) into C or C++ codes before calling other program modules (subroutines). Today MATLAB has been developed to cover many application areas. You may search the internet with the key word MATLAB to see some evidence. To learn more about the product developers, check the web page
