Need help starting MATLAB?
  • If you are using a school computer, find directions here.
  • If you want to use MATLAB from your dorm, find directions here.


MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use enviroment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Typical uses include:

  • Math and computation
  • Algorithm development
  • Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
  • Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
  • Scientific and engineering graphics
  • Application development, including graphical user interface building


MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems, especially those with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it would take to write a program in a scalar noninteractive language such as C or Fortran.

MATLAB toolboxes currently installed:
  • Communications
  • Control Systems
  • Image Processing
  • Optimization
  • Signal Processing


To run Matlab simply type in matlab at the unix prompt.

MATLAB manuals are available for Simulink, Compiler and the currently installed Toolboxes in the ECS (Eng B-124) office for immediate reference.

Printing From Matlab
  • select file then print (or the print icon)
  • At the print to: section select
  • Print to: file
  • Enter a file name of your choice (i.e. bullwinkle)
  • Paper size should be set by default to letter
  • Select print and it will print to the file you named it (bullwinkle)
  • Go to your homedir and print out the file (bullwinkle) using the print command:
  • Lpr -Pdsvprint bullwinkle
  • The file should print out
Note: Graphics should be printed the same.
