MATLAB is heavily used in many technical fields for data analysis, problem solving, and for experimentation and algorithm development. Discipline-specific software written in MATLAB, organized into libraries of functions called toolboxes, is widely used as well. MATLAB has found extensive use as the basis for computational laboratory work in technical education; more than 1000 textbooks use MATLAB as a teaching vehicle.

Slumdog Millionaire sweeps the Oscars with 8 awards

Rags-to-riches romance 'Slumdog Millionaire' stole the show at Oscar Award ceremony by winning several awards including best Movie,best Director award for Danny Boyle, best Original Song and Original Score for A R Rahman, best Sound Mixing for Resul Pokutty and Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke, best Adapted Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy.

A R Rahman scripted history by becoming the first Indian to win two Oscars for the Best Original Score "Slumdog Millionaire" and its foot-tapping song "Jai Ho".

"Before coming here I was excited and terrified. The last time I felt that way was when I was getting married," he told in his acceptance speech after bagging the Original Score Academy.

"There is a Hindi dialogue 'mere pass ma hai' which means even if I have got nothing I have my mother here. I want to thank her for coming all the way to support me," the 43-year-old musician said.

Rahman was again on the dais to accept the Oscar for the best Original Song for the number "Jai ho", sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Mahalaxmi Iyer.

Before that he performed a medley of 'Jai ho' and 'O saya' assisted by dancers and singer John Legend.

"The essence of the film is about optimism and home. The power of hope in our lives. All my life I had the choice between hate and love. I choose love and here I am," said the musician while accepting the award for best song, penned by Gulzar.

India's Resul Pookutty won the third Oscar for 'Slumdog Millionaire' in the best Sound Mixing Category.

Smile Pinki, a documentary on a young Indian girl also won an Oscar in the best Short Documentary category.

"It is a tremendous honour. I thank Vikas Swarup, without him 'Slumdog' would not have happened, thanks Vikas Swarup," said Beaufoy while accepting the golden statuette

."Thank you Dev, thank you Latika and the entire cast and crew of Slumdog," Beaufoy said.

The scriptwriter has already bagged the Golden Globe and BAFTA for "Slumdog Millionaire".

"I learnt a lot about life," said Beaufoy about his India experience.

This is a first Oscar for Beaufoy, who was earlier nominated in 1997 in the Original Screenplay Category for the film "Full Monty".

The Kite Runner-Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini's quietly powerful debut novel.The Kite Runner fulfills the promise of fiction, awakening curiosity about the world around us, speaking truth as the lessons of history echo down the years. The themes are universal: familial relationships, particularly father and son; the price of disloyalty; the inhumanity of a rigid class system; and the horrific realities of war.

In Afghanistan, young Amir's earliest memories of life in Kabul are blessed with a cultural heritage that values tradition, blood ties and a deeply rooted cultural identity. Upper class Pashtuns, Amir enjoys the luxury of education, material comfort and a constant playmate, the son of his father's longtime Hazara servant, Hassan.

Twice in his lifetime Amir is morally tested in his relationship with Hassan. The first time, a victim of his own arrogance, Amir fails his companion. Hiding behind the superiority of class, Amir chooses the path of least resistance, but the scar of betrayal cuts through his soul and never heals. That first failure dictates Amir's inner dialogue throughout his life, even in America, until he is offered another chance at personal redemption. Returned to his homeland at the request of an old family friend, the second challenge is equally perilous, and Amir recognizes the very real implications of his decision. This internal struggle is the underlying theme of the novel, which spans Afghani history from the peaceful 70's to the repressive rule of the Taliban in the late '90s.

Played out on the world stage, a desperate battle to preserve the cultural heritage of Afghanistan spans Amir's life in Kabul and America. While Amir and his father reside safely in America, their homeland is decimated by constant warfare -- streets lined with beggars, fatherless children whose future is marginalized by poverty: "There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood." The sweet simplicity of youthful winters spent "kite running" with Hassan seem light years away, illuminated by the boys' unfettered innocence.

Against this stark landscape, the adult Amir is challenged as never before, charged with the protection of a young life already scarred by the random violence visited upon the disenfranchised. With inordinate compassion and stunning simplicity, Hosseini portrays Amir's impossible dilemma. Complications abound, but the answer lies in humanity's capacity for kindness. The grace of acceptance heals the wounds of brutality, for with forgiveness anything is possible, even the wild joy of soaring kites against a winter sky.

Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand's novels have inspired generations of readers to live their lives with greater integrity, passion and joy. Nearly seventy years after her first novel was published, Rand's fiction continues to stand out as a vivid and seldom-heard salute to the independent, creative spirit — to the rational, thinking mind — and to total competence in the realm of productive work.

The Dairy of A Young Girl-Anne Frank

The Diary of a Young Girl is a book based on the excerpts from a diary written by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944 and Anne Frank ultimately died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. After the war, the diary was retrieved by Anne's father, Otto Frank.

First published under the title Het Achterhuis: Dagboekbrieven van 12 Juni 1942 – 1 Augustus 1944 (The Annex: diary notes from 12 June 1942 – 1 August 1944) by Contact Publishing in Amsterdam in 1947, it received widespread critical and popular attention on the appearance of its English language translation Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Doubleday & Company (United States) and Vallentine Mitchell (United Kingdom) in 1952. Its popularity inspired the 1955 play The Diary of Anne Frank by the screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, which they subsequently adapted for the screen for the 1959 movie version. In 2005, a full-length choral work based on the diary called Annelies was produced. The book is now considered one of the key texts of the twentieth century.

Eliphas Levi Wheel Spread

Eliphas Levi didn't invent this spread, but it is based on his Tarot Wheel. To do this spread, compose a question. Take the Major Arcana only and shuffle. Draw five cards at random, one at a time, and lay them down.

Card Details:

Card 1: Present Situation: Forces and influences immediately affecting the question. Consider people, thoughts and feelings, events and circumstances.

Card 2: Warning Influences: Obstacles that have been overcome, aid that has come to an end, changes in emotion, energy, outlook, goals, and such.

Card 3: Hidden or Unconscious Influences: What we repress or fail to recognize does not disappear, but finds other ways of expression. Here, we find the stuff that usually surfaces in dreams; yearnings, fears, desires, our deepest and darkest secrets. These are fragments floating in a sea of our unconscious, waiting to be reintegrated into our waking lives.

Card 4: Emerging Influences: New factors looming on the horizon. Again, consider people, thoughts, feelings, events and circumstances.

Card 5: Synthesis: What is needed to reconcile and unify the other four factors.

Pentagram Spread

This sort of reading is excellent for focusing on a singular issue you may be facing in your life, such as Questions about your job specifically or your love life, questions about what may be going on in your life that is the root of your problems and many other forms of questions that you would want a more focused and detailed answer. A reading like this not only gives you a picture of what you are looking at in as far as events in your life, but too can show you precisely where to focus on the issues and what perhaps you can do. In the aspect of elemental balancing this can call attention to either over or under activity in your life and too can aid you in focusing and fixing the problem. Card Details:
Card 1: The Significator: In many Tarot card readings, the reader selects what's called a Significator card to represent the Querent -- the person for whom the reading is being done. In some traditions, the Significator is selected based on personal appearance. However, for this reading, you should choose a card out of the Major Arcana based on the issues in the Querent's life. Card 2:The Earth-Keeping Grounded:The second card in this deck is the Earth card. The element of Earth is associated with stability and security, and so this card indicates the overall issues surrounding the Querent's question.

What is keeping them in place, or even holding them back?

Are there forces at play here that are preventing them from moving forward?

In other words, what is it that has made the situation stagnant?

Card 3:Air-The winds of Influence: The third position is the aspect of Air. Traditionally, Air is related to inspiration and communication. In this layout, this position signifies what other people are telling the Querent --

Are there people providing a positive influence, or are they dragging the Querent down with negative messages?

What sort of external forces are influencing the Querent's life right now?

Card 4:Fire-The ultimate destroyer: The fourth card in this reading is the element of Fire, which embodies strong will and energy. Fire can both create and destroy --

Is the Querent subconsciously sabotaging their own goals?

What sort of internal conflicts are at play here?

This is the card which shows the Querent's self-doubts and misapprehensions. Card 5:Water-Tides of Intuition:Position five is the Water card, and Water is typically associated with the powers of the Goddess. This is the element of wisdom and intuition, and ultimately, this is where the Querent will find what their intuition is telling them.

What can they learn from this situation?

How can they adapt their current circumstances to meet their future needs and goals?

Card 6:Spirit-The whole self:Finally, the sixth card is the card of Spirit. This is the whole self, the culmination of the journey, and what all the other cards are leading up to. Look at the previous four cards, representing the four elements, and see what they tell you. They are chapters in a book, but this card is the last page --

How will things be resolved if the Querent remains on his present path?

What, ultimately, will be the end result of all the internal and external influences on the Querent's issue?
