Matlab linked to Bloomberg financial info
Cambridge Control, a MathWorks' company, is introducing a major new software product that substantially enhances The MathWorks' set of software tools for financial professionals.
This new package will allow science, mathematics and engineering students to have access to the software off-campus at a minimum cost.
This will enable them to expand on their studies at home, a vital requirement if access to the software on-campus is limited.
"Until now the combined student version of Matlab and Simulink has only been available online for $99, so we're very pleased to be able to offer it for the first time in bookshops at a much lower price", commented Stasi Revel, Academic Manager of The MathWorks.
"We see this as another example of our longstanding commitment to education".
Matlab and Simulink provide students with an intuitive environment that enables them to easily visualise concepts and create interactive demonstrations.
Today, over 250,000 researchers, instructors, and students at more than 3500 universities worldwide use these products.
The capabilities of the new package can be extended and customised through addon products, available for download from The MathWorks website.
These addon toolboxes and blocksets are available in key areas such as data acquisition and import, signal and image processing, control design and analysis, finance, economics and maths.
Matlab is the company's flagship product, a high-level programming language and environment for technical computation and numerical analysis.
It can be used to store, manipulate and visualise data.
Over one million copies have been sold worldwide to date, making it the market leader.
Simulink can be used to graphically model a continuous- or discrete-time system, such as a car or a telephone network, and then simulate its performance using real data.
