Overview

MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computation, visualization, and programming. 

Cost

MATLAB, Simulink, and 56 other products and toolboxes are provided at no cost

Who can get it

The MATLAB site license is available for students, faculty, staff, and departmental computers. This includes Simulink and 56 other products and toolboxes. This does not include the MATLAB Academic Online Training Suite.

How to get it

Users download MATLAB from personal accounts at www.mathworks.com that they create using the instructions and codes posted specifically for students or for faculty/staff.

Once an account is created, it can be used for downloading, updating, and licensing MATLAB on the user's Mac and Windows and Linux workstations. And, through the same account, the user can use MATLAB Mobile (a free app) on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

The campus site license expires in December each year, so users renew their licenses annually around that time. Choose "Licensing" from MATLAB's Help menu and choose Update Current License. If not updated by the end of December, a user must reactivate the license by running the computer's Activate MATLAB utility, or take the opportunity to upgrade to the latest version by downloading it from the personal MathWorks account.

Documentation and training

MathWorks provides an Interactive MATLAB Tutorial, a series of excellent online instructional videos.
