Body
Matlab is 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. You can use Matlab in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modeling and analysis, and computational biology.
ℹ️
Matlab is a very large download and install. We recommend installing this software while connected to high-speed internet.
❌
MATLAB R2023b is compatible with macOS Sonoma (14) and macOS Ventura (13). Older macOS versions must be updated to install the software locally. Please note that macOS Sequoia (15) is currently unsupported.
If you prefer not to update your operating system, you can still access MATLAB through the Geneseo Virtual Lab or on any campus public computer.
