Matlab

Matlab integrates computation, data analysis, visualization, and algorithm development in one complete environment. It is easy to learn and use, and offers an intuitive language for expressing and solving problems.  Matlab is often referred to as The Language of Technical Computing.  If you're studying mathematics, engineering, or a science field, Matlab can be a valuable resource to you.

Availability on Campus

For the 2007/08 academic year, Matlab is available in the SH 532 Lab, the Corbly 436 Lab, and the ML 119 Lab, as well as various single computers around campus.

Student version

A student version is available for $99 that has all the features of the regular version plus it comes with the symbolic toolbox.  The symbolic toolbox adds functionality found in computer algebra systems such as Maple and Mathematica.
