- Matlab
Beginning this year (2016), MathWorks provides free student Matlab licenses to all UC San Diego students. To install Matlab:
- go to the Matlab license site: https://matlab.ucsd.edu/student.html
- follow the "Get Access" instructions:
- create a MathWorks account with your @ucsd.edu email address
- download and install Matlab on your laptop
NOTE: the installer file is large (~5 GB) and the final Matlab program (with all toolboxes) is even larger (~15 GB). You can skip the toolboxes (to save space), but the installation will still take ~15–30 minutes.
If you are unable to install Matlab on your computer, MathWorks now offers Matlab Online, a service for running Matlab through your web-browser. By signing up for a MathWorks account (using your @ucsd.edu email address), you are granted access to Matlab Online:
- go to the Matlab Online login page: https://matlab.mathworks.com/
- log in with your MathWorks account
- basic math operations
- variables
- math functions
- loops
- plotting
Although Matlab is very useful, let's also look at a few other demos for things you can accomplish using programming:
