Matlab

The Mathworks, Inc. provides high-productivity tools for solving challenging mathematical, computational, and model-based technical problems.
 
   

Stand-alone licenses ( Matlab only, no toolboxes ) are available from owner-matlab-list@bu.edu for a fee. Student Matlab with several toolboxes is available from Mathworks, Inc. for $99.

The free network based Matlab client can be installed by faculty, staff, and sponsored graduate students on university owned machines at Boston University. The client only works on IP addresses owned by BU.

We offer 40+ network based toolboxes as well as Matlab and Simulink. For access to toolbox updates, contact owner-matlab-list@bu.edu

Alternate ways to access Matlab:

The IS&T Application Server
UNIX and Linux machines that use the Office of Information Technology's Application Server have access to preinstalled versions of Matlab 7.5 and some earlier versions.. Ask your system administrator if this service is available on your departmental machines.


Matlab on ACS-Linux

Write matlab@bu.edu if your class needs access to the latest version of Matlab, which resides only on acs-linux.bu.edu. Acs-linux is available to everyone with an account on the ACS Cluster, the University's Unix cluster.

Matlab on SCV systems
Faculty and students on a research project are eligible for an account on Scientific Computing and Visualization systems, where a version of Matlab is also available. See the SCV Matlab help page.
