The Research Software Core and the UT Southwestern Medical Center Library are happy to announce a new partnership to offer the MATLAB software suite. Effective December 1, 2010, the Software Core’s license is now available at no charge for affiliated clients on designated library computers: there are two at each of the Library locations.
If no UT Southwestern students, faculty, residents, staff, or other affiliated clients (i.e., employees of University Hospitals, Parkland Health & Hospital System, Children’s Medical Center, or UT Southwestern Austin Programs) are waiting to use the computers, guests are permitted to use them.
MATLAB® is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, users can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages.
The Research Software Core provides a single site for users to determine which software packages are available to research personnel at UT Southwestern. The goal of the core is to provide software that will benefit researchers at low or no cost. This is accomplished through bulk purchases and low cost buy-in to campus-wide licenses. The core is supported by the Deans of the Graduate and Medical schools and by Information Resources. It is advised by a committee of faculty and staff and administered by Academic Information Systems.
For more information or to suggest software packages to be supported and licensed, please send your request via e-mail to Thomas Spencer with Academic Information Systems.
