Title :
Cleve Moler: Mathematical Software Pioneer and Creator of Matlab
Author_Institution :
University of Wisconsin
Abstract :
A prominent figure in the numerical analysis community in his early academic career, Cleve Moler gradually shifted his research efforts to mathematical software, specifically to the development of Matlab, an educational software package. Matlab has evolved to become a commercial success in scientific and engineering applications. Moler—now Mathworks´ chief scientist and chairman—is still involved in software development and applied computing research and education.
