I need to install the m file that will let me calculate the following

A = [1 -3 -2; -1 1 -1; 2 4 5]
[V, J] = jordan(A)
V\A*V

Unfortunately I don't have the m file that will calculate the above. I have an older release R12.

Thanks

I believe even back in release R12 the JORDAN function was part of Symbolic
Math Toolbox. You will need to obtain this toolbox in order to use it, or
will need to implement your own Jordan canonical form function.
