MATLAB Student Version

Students in engineering, math or science have a new technical computing resource designed for their needs. The MathWorks' MATLAB Student Version includes full-featured versions of MATLAB and Simulink, the software products used by engineers, scientists and mathematicians at leading universities, research labs, technology companies and government labs. MATLAB integrates computation, data analysis, visualization and programming in one environment. Simulink is one of the leading interactive environments for modeling, simulating and analyzing dynamic systems. In addition, there is no difference between the student and professional versions of the program, which, according to the company, is important because students are learning skills with the same tools they may use in a professional arena. The program also comes with MATLAB and Simulink books to help students get started. This product has a special student price of $99. The MathWorks, (508) 647-7000, www.mathworks.com.
