Public Domain MATLAB ETHZ

This public domain MATLAB is made available for students who wish to use MATLAB only rarely. Otherwise, please buy the student edition of MATLAB as made available to students of ETHZ at a very attractive price. This public domain version is very simple and does offer less functionality than the commercial versions.

Public domain MATLAB offers the same basic, numerical functionality as its commercial counterparts; however, it offers no toolboxes and only a simple user interface.

What is MATLAB?

MATLAB allows to perform interactively linear algebraic operations with vectors and matrices by numerical computations.

How to learn MATLAB?

There are many useful tutorials available on the web and some even within this release. I can recommend:

MATLAB at ETH (in German)
A web tutorial from the book «Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Using the Web and MATLAB» by E.W. Kamen & B.S. Heck, 2000. Prentice-Hall, Inc., 2nd. ed.
Courses of the Automatic Control Laboratory of ETHZ offering many useful links to MATLAB and otherwise useful material
