MATLAB
A software package used to perform a range of specific technical computing tasks, including matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, and the creation of user interfaces. Tufts University offers a campus-wide license to MATLAB, Simulink, and a full suite of companion products. All faculty, researchers, and students are eligible to download and install these products on their university computers as well as their personally-owned computers.
COMING FALL SEMESTER 2024! An individual MATLAB license will be required for use on personal and Tufts machines, including virtual desktops.
Features
- Consists of a base module and a wide array of toolboxes and add-on modules that include Simulink, Statistics, Signal Processing, Symbolic Math, and more. The list of toolboxes can be found on the MathWorks website. Note that our license does not include some products that are specific to commercial customers (i.e. DO Qualification Kit, IEC Certification Kit).
- Algorithms can be integrated with external applications and languages like C, Java, .NET, and Microsoft Excel.
- Provides functions for algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, numerical integration, and solving ordinary differential equations.
Get Started
Follow the self-service installation instructions in the online guide for new installations of MATLAB as well as reactivations (renewals of an existing license) or submit a request to Tufts Technology Services (617-627-3376).
- Students, faculty, and staff can use MatLab in most Tufts computer labs.
You can request a cluster account by going to research.uit.tufts.edu and submitting the application form.
Before accessing MATLAB on the cluster, please contact Tufts Technology Services at 617-627-3376 or it@tufts.edu for an assessment of whether or not your computer’s display meets MATLAB X-Windows support requirements. On occasion, the TTS Service Desk may need to make configuration changes for compatibility.
