System Requirements - Training at Your Facility

Because our courses make extensive use of hands-on examples, PCs or workstations are required. The operating system should be consistent throughout the facility, and be supported by the latest version of MATLAB. Before the first day of class, please install the demo software provided to you for the course. Each computer should have a CD-ROM or be networked for installation. An electrical outlet should be available to the instructor.

If you have questions or concerns about these requirements, please note them when requesting training. The MathWorks will work with you to accommodate your needs without affecting the quality of the course.

General Requirements

PCs or workstations
Consistent operating system that supports the latest version of MATLAB
Demo software installed prior to course
CD or network access for installation
Electrical outlet
A computer projector with resolution of 1024 x 768 and lumens of 2000 or greater is recommended. If a projector is not available, The MathWorks can supply one at no additional cost.
