The logo represents a L-shaped object which is related to the [[wave equation]].<ref>This is a [[partial differential equation]] about [[wave (physics)|physical waves]].</ref> This was the subject of Moler's thesis.<ref> Haigh, Thomas (January 2008). "Cleve Moler: Mathematical Software Pioneer and Creator of MATLAB". [[IEEE]] Annals of the History of Computing. 30 (1): 87–91.</ref>
== Who is Cleve Moler? ==
Cleve Moler is a famous [[mathematician]]. He is known for his scientific textbooks<ref>Moler, C. B. (2011). Experiments with MATLAB. Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.</ref><ref>Moler, C. B. (2004). Numerical computing with MATLAB. Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.</ref> and technical reviews.<ref>Gupta, M. M. (1991). Numerical methods and software (David Kahaner, Cleve Moler, and Stephen Nash).

== Notable products ==
MathWorks is known for making powerful software used in many scientific and technical fields.<ref name="WBJO">{{cite news|last1=Welker|first1=Grant|title=MathWorks now in more than 180 countries|url=http://www.wbjournal.com/article/20170529/PRINTEDITION/305269996/mathworks-now-in-more-than-180-countries|work=Worcester Business Journal Online|date=29 May 2017|access-date=10 July 2020|archive-date=30 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181230134449/http://www.wbjournal.com/article/20170529/PRINTEDITION/305269996/mathworks-now-in-more-than-180-countries|url-status=dead}}</ref>
== MATLAB ==
{{main|MATLAB}}
MATLAB is a programming language made for [[numerical analysis]] (especially [[numerical linear algebra]]).<ref>Gilat, Amos (2004). MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications 2nd Edition. John Wiley & Sons.</ref><ref>Quarteroni, Alfio; Saleri, Fausto (2006). Scientific Computing with MATLAB and [[GNU Octave|Octave]]. Springer.</ref><ref>Gander, W., & Hrebicek, J. (Eds.). (2011). Solving problems in scientific computing using Maple and Matlab®. Springer Science & Business Media.</ref> It is named after '''[[Matrix (mathematics)|Matrix]] Laboratory'''.
== Simulation software ==
MathWorks is also known for their [[simulation]]-related products. The most famous one is '''Simulink'''.<ref>Binh, L. N. (2014). Optical fiber communication systems with Matlab and Simulink models. CRC Press.</ref><ref>Stewart, R. W., Barlee, K. W., & Atkinson, D. S. (2015). Software defined radio using MATLAB & Simulink and the RTL-SDR. Strathclyde Academic Media.</ref><ref>Chaturvedi, D. K.

CRC Press.</ref> It is very popular as same as MATLAB. There is also SimEvents and Stateflow. SimEvents was made to '''simulate''' physical or dynamical '''[[Phenomenon|events]]'''.<ref>Gray, M. A.
