ABSTRACT

A graphical user interface (GUI) makes a software application easier to learn which leaves more time for teaching mathematics. Developing a GUI for a Matlab application using Matlab commands is very cumbersome. Visual Basic makes creating a GUI simple and by using the dynamic data exchange we may easily connect to Matlab.
