  'graphical user interface (GUI), developed by a professor and'
  'his students, and to specify a model, change its parameters,'
  'tests its performance, observe its results and learn very'
  'quickly how it would behave in practice. Using MATLAB and'
  'the GUI, students can focus on learning theory and applications'
  'rather than the computational process.'

  'In the research arena, Assistant Professor Knez uses MATLAB'
  'as an algorithm development environment where he can'
  'easily develop new statistical tools without worrying'
  'about underlying mathematical models and calculations.'
  'MATLAB''s extensive visualization capabilities are key'
  'to understanding and sorting through the large amounts'
  'of data that comes from Wall Street. The MATLAB'
  'toolboxes provide additional tools throughout the'
  'process. For example, the Statistics Toolbox provides the'
  'required distribution functions for analyses and the Neural'
  'Network Toolbox is useful for developing trading'

  'for a software package that he could use to teach his'
  'courses, he and a group of TAs and students evaluated'
  'a number of packages and found exactly what they were'
  'looking for in MATLAB. The use of MATLAB has continued'
  'to spread through all the engineering disciplines'
  'at MIT. Now it is almost impossible for an engineering'
  'student to graduate from MIT without using MATLAB'
  ' '
  'MATLAB is also used by students in math and science--the'
  'Linear Algebra course makes extensive explicit use of the'
  'product. "MATLAB has joined the ranks of the handheld'
  'calculator and before that, the sliderule, as a tool that'
  'is expected to be universally available to our Engineering'
  'students. It has changed the way faculty teach and the kind'
  'of problems that they can assign. The joint collaboration'
  'between MIT and The MathWorks, has been of great benefit to the'
  'education of our students."'};
