MATLAB is a programming language and computing environment developed by MathWorks. You can use it for app building, parallel computing, data analysis, graphics generation, and many more applications.
UVM has a campus-wide license that grants access to MATLAB and many other MathWorks products. By creating a MathWorks account with your UVM email address, you can install and use MATLAB even on a personal device.
Certain apps available through UVM, including MatLab, may be subject to export regulations. If you plan to bring your computer with you when traveling, be sure to review the relevant License Agreements and Terms of Use.
