A vast library of prebuilt toolboxes lets you get started with algorithms essential to your domain.
Scale up to clusters and clouds.
MATLAB code can be integrated with other languages, enabling you to deploy algorithms and applications within web, enterprise, and production systems.

How to Obtain

Visit the MIT MATLAB Software Page for full information on licensing and acquiring the software through MIT.

Commercial use of MathWorks products is not covered by our Campus-Wide License, so if you are using a commercial license, please continue to do so.

Software Download for Windows, MacOS or UNIX

Touchstone authentication is required to determine your eligibility as an MIT student, faculty or staff member. You still must register for a MATLAB account in order to access and manage MATLAB.

Visit the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Campus Portal to download the software.
Under the Get MATLAB section, click Sign in to get started.
You will be asked to create a MathWorks Account. Once you do that, you will be associated to our MATLAB license and will be able to:
- Download and activate software on your personal computer
- Start using MATLAB Online from a web browser

On Athena

MATLAB is available to all MIT Kerberos account holders via Athena.
