If your college/university teaches you anything on Matlab then most likely they have Campus Wide Access license.

Which means you can use your student university email to register an account with Matlab and gain free access to use Matlab and Simulink software on your own PC/Mac computer.

After downloading the software and installing it, make sure you select all the libraries you need during the installation process.

Also make sure you are signed-in, in the software itself using your Matlab account, for the license to activate.

As much as MATLAB is a great tool, I feel the need to point out that it is roughly equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot long-term.

Unless you plan on working at a huge company with legacy systems you are likely never going to use it outside of academia. My university seems to be transitioning away from it and others I have talked to had similar thoughts. In the cohort of students I went thought grad school with, AFAIK none of us are at companies that use MATLAB.

I don't want to be a downer, but going straight to Python is likely a better long term move.

Is SageMath actually used outside of Uni?

[–] kraegar 2 points 1 year ago

I have heard of SageMath, but never used it.

I have never seen people use tooling like that in industry. It could be that I am simply not interacting with companies that do, but across all the modeling I have done I have yet to see symbolic math.

The closest thing I have used to symbolic math is PyMC which is a bit of a stretch.
