Software: Matlab

 

Product Name:  Matlab

 

Vendor:  The MathWorks

 

Platforms:

  • Apple Macintosh

  • Linux

  • Microsoft Windows

  • Sun Solaris

General Description:

 

The MathWorks web-site describes Matlab as:

"A high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran."

Availability:

This product is installed in the centrally managed Windows Labs in the ADIT domain, located in CTLM and the Library, and possibly other campus labs. Additional installations may be made in accordance with the legal scope of the license described below.

Scope of License:

Campus-wide educational site license, available for installation on campus-owned and campus-located machines for use by faculty, staff and students primarily in support of CSM's academic mission.  Physics, Math & Computer Science and Engineering have a limited number of research licenses.

Media and Licensing Mechanisms:

  • Current Media description:
     

    • One program installation CD ROM

     

  • Licensing to use this product:
     

    • Expiration:  Depends on several factors.  Please contact AC&N via the Mines Help Center for detailed information.
       

    • Central License Server: FlexLM licensing serves academic lab licenses for use only in their respective labs.

Method for Obtaining:

If you need Matlab installed on a CSM-owned machine, AC&N will want you to submit a request for installation to the Mines Help Center.

 

Prior to submitting your request, please identify which research license and toolbox licenses you will need.  Obtain an email written by the owner of the license granting you permission to use their license(s) and paste it in the description field of the Help Center Service Request.

 

Additonal information that AC&N will need:

  • Your name

  • Your advisor or equivalent if you are a student

  • Your phone extension

  • The machine's operating system, location and owner

  • The general use to which the software will be put.

Please do not submit requests to install the software on a single or limited-number of lab machines; the software "build" and licensing on lab machines is frozen in support of the CSM academic mission.  AC&N can not accommodate "on-the-fly" lab installations.

 

Cost to Qualified CSM End-Users:

AC&N does not currently charge for use of this license in supported labs and classrooms.

Media:

One program installation CD ROM, varies by platform and licensing mode.

Documentation:

Available on MathWorks Matlab Documentation web-site.

In Case of Difficulties with the Software:

Contact us via the Mines Help Center!  We want to get you to where the program is properly installed, functional and legally licensed.  We may be able answer some questions about the general use of the program, but we expect you to do the bulk of the work in that area.
