Moler created MATLAB to give his students at the University of New Mexico easy access to those libraries without writing Fortran. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1961 and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1965, both in mathematics, and later taught at the University of Michigan, Stanford University and the University of New Mexico.",
