Subject: Origin of Matlab



I came across this interesting video (see link) from Cleve Moler's 
website (a  JAMA author for those who don't know) where he described the 
origin of Matlab and some history about numerical algebra.  Very 
informative brief history.  I noted from  the video that Jack Dongara 
was a member of the original  Linpack team.  I do use some routines from 
Jack's  JLapack (java lapack) project.
