Does anybody know how Matlab became so big in science? What's the story? It's expensive, inflexible & not pedagogical. How did this happen?

I just wonder why and how. How did they get so expensive for nothing?

There must be a cool story behind it like Microsoft going around undercutting IBM or Macs or whatever they did.

It was excellent for all things numerical analysis and optimization related. Enabled research that depended on them.

I still find this to be true, though we increasingly have more options. Julia will probably replace it.

I know lots of numerical computing folks who love it, which is critical for all else to follow.
