Matlab

The Office of Vice President of Research and Graduate and Professional Education in conjunction with the Office of Information Technology is pleased to announce that Rutgers has signed a one year site license agreement with MathWorks for Matlab, Simulink, and 52 toolboxes (list below). We believe site licenses such as this are important initial steps towards establishing a University-wide Site-licensed Software Collection for the Rutgers Community.

This site license provides for downloads and use on all Rutgers owned machines as well as machines owned by faculty and staff.

Matlab training at Rutgers

Matlab training will be held on Oct 23, 2009 from 9:30am-12:00pm

The training session will be video conferenced between sites in Newark, New Brunswick, and Camden. So, please register for the room of your choice, and if need be, we will arrange for overflow rooms as space is limited in these three rooms. However, note that this session will also be multicast live from RU-iptv as well as archived for Video on Demand (VoD) viewing (for 60 days) after the presentation. RU-iptv should be viewable from any hardwired network jack in labs or in offices (test yours by verifying that you can see RU-iptv now. In addition, VoD should be viewable from any network connection on or off campus with sufficient bandwidth.

Title: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in MATLAB

R2008a included a major update to object-oriented programming in MATLAB, enabling you to more easily develop and maintain large applications and data structures. Through engineering examples, this master class will demonstrate how you can define classes and work with objects, highlighting the benefits of this programming approach over traditional procedural techniques. Features covered include class definitions, properties, property attributes, methods, method attributes, and inheritance. No knowledge of object-oriented programming is required.

Parallel Computing with MATLAB

You will see how you can use MathWorks tools for parallel computing to:

MATLAB provides a flexible environment for teaching and research in a wide range of applications, including signal processing and communications, image processing, math and optimization, statistics and data analysis, control systems, hardware data acquisition, computational finance, and computational biology. Attendees with beginner to expert MATLAB skills are welcome to attend.

Student access to Matlab

Students can access Matlab in the public labs, or from eden, pegasus, or clam with X Windows from their PC or Mac from the Dorms, RUWireless, or from a high speed network connection from home. X Windows is available for Macs on the system DVD. For Windows, they can follow installation instructions at "Setting up Cygwin for the purpose of X11 forwarding" and "Tunneling X Windows Sessions with WinSSH".

OIT Camden and Newark are piloting XVNC remote access to Matlab. NB faculty wanting to try either of these pilots for their class should contact oirt@rutgers.edu for assistance. To review basic documentation for this capability, click here.

Software available to Faculty and Staff

To download the software, visit http://software.rutgers.edu/, login with your NetID, and search for Matlab using the search box in the upper right of the page.

Support

In response to faculty requests, a mail list has been created to foster the growth of a Matlab User Community. If you are interested in joining, subscribe by logging in here. As the user community grows, other collaborative opportunities will be possible via this Sakai site.

If you have questions regarding downloading or installation of this software please consult your local unit computing specialist or send email to oirt@rutgers.edu

MATLAB includes an extensive builtin help system. In addition, you can also view the documentation and search the technical support solutions database at The MathWorks Web site at http://www.mathworks.com/support/. to find answers to hundreds of commonly asked questions. You will also find an index of MATLAB examples, Tech Notes, How-To Guides, a MATLAB Newsgroup, as well as MATLAB and Simulink Based Books.
