- Some recent postings have had conflicting information about the
- limitations in the Student Edition.
-
- The Student Edition of MATLAB is published by Prentice-Hall and
- is available to students in college bookstores for the price of a
- typical textbook. It is essentially MATLAB 3.5, limited to
- vectors or matrices with 1024 elements -- that's a 32-by-32 matrix,
- not 10-by-10. The PC version uses the math coprocessor if it
- is present, but does not require it. The Mac version has two
- executable images, for with and without math coprocessor. Hard
- copy output is limited to screen dump -- there is no graphics
- post processor. The User's Guide alone, without any software,
- is also available for students who have access to MATLAB in
- campus labs, but don't have their own personal machines.
