Abstract

The aim of this paper is to improve teaching efficiency with use of powerful educational software called 'MATLAB'. In this paper using the 'MATLAB' tool 'Makeshow' we attractively introduce normal probability distribution for the normally distributed random variables. Using these tool students can easily create interactive slideshows. Because of their rich library, available tools and demos matlab is easy to use for the students and so it provides option of self-study tool for them. This type of educational software allows the students to establish relationship between the problems solved in classroom and the reality that these problems refer to.
