from Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion by Farzad Sagharchi
Hurwitz criterion basically tells us how many poles are located in the Left-Hand Plane, Right-Hand P

Routh.m
%The Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion is a necessary (and frequently
%sufficient) method to establish the stability of a single-input,
%single-output (SISO), linear time invariant (LTI) control system. 
%More generally, given a polynomial, some calculations using only the 
%coefficients of that polynomial can lead us to the conclusion that it
%is not stable.
%in this program you must give your system coefficents and the
%Routh-Hurwitz table would be shown
