Through a campuswide site license agreement, Ohio State now offers its faculty, students, and staff unlimited access to MATLAB, an integrated technical computing environment that combines numeric computation, advanced graphics and visualization, and a high-level programming language.

The license also provides for unlimited use for classroom instruction and for off-site access for university faculty and staff on personally owned equipment. The campuswide site license was obtained through a cost sharing collaboration of the College of Engineering, the Ohio Supercomputer Center, and the Office of Information Technology.
