Description
MATLAB® is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets or traditional programming languages, such as C/C++ or Java™.
OSL distributes MATLAB standalone, MATLAB concurrent, and MATLAB Parallel Server licenses.
Note: Requests for MATLAB access that come from users within PSOM, SAS, SEAS, and Wharton should not use this form - they should contact the IT departments of those schools. Users from other Schools and Centers are welcome to submit MATLAB access requests on this page.
