"MATLAB® is the high-level language and interactive environment used by millions of engineers and scientists worldwide. It lets you explore and visualize ideas and collaborate across disciplines including signal and image processing, communications, control systems, and computational finance." - Mathworks.com
MATLAB is used across the campus and across the disciplines. It is available to be installed on student, faculty, and staff personal and Bowdoin-issued devices.
Licensing
Current MATLAB licensing allows access to the main application, more than 90 toolboxes provided by Mathworks, access to MATLAB Online, MATLAB Mobile for iOS/Android OS, MATLAB's Online documentation and more. New installations of MATLAB are no longer required to talk with a Bowdoin license manager, however some on-campus computers will continue to use a license manager and must be run from the Bowdoin network.
For instructions on how to create a Mathworks account and to download and install MATLAB, see the article listed under the "Related Articles" section.
