So Matlab is free for Berkeley students!?!? How do I get it?

<p>I've looked at Matlab</a> | UC Berkeley IST but I still don't understand the instructions.</p>

<p>Since I've never had Matlab on my computer before, what steps do I use to get the license? How do I get a license? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>“At this time, the license has not been extended to students for use on their personal computers. However, students may download MatLab on University-owned machines.”</p>

<p>You can’t get it, yet.</p>

<p>[STC</a> ~ Downloads](<a href=“http://stc.berkeley.edu/downloads.htm]STC”>http://stc.berkeley.edu/downloads.htm)</p>

<p>Ctrl+F ‘Matlab’.</p>

<p>As a substitute, you can try [GNU</a> Octave](<a href=“http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/]GNU”>GNU Octave) .</p>

<p>if you can get a job from the school (grader, etc.), you can get all the programs on the IST list you want for free.</p>

<p>yeah I currently use Octave and it’s great, but if Matlab was free, I would have still wanted it. Thanks guys!</p>

<p>And I am doing undergrad research this semester so maybe I’ll ask my prof.</p>
