Software Introduction

MatLab is produced by The United StatesMathWorksThe commercial mathematical software produced by the company is currently used by over three million engineers and scientists in more than 180 countries around the world using MATLAB and Simulink. MATLAB is mainly used for numerical analysis, numerical and symbolic calculations, engineering and scientific drawing, control system design and simulation, digital image processing, digital signal processing, communication system design and simulation, finance and financial engineering. It is a commercial mathematical software. MATLAB has a rich algorithm toolbox, making it ubiquitous in fields such as engineering computing, control design, signal processing and communication, image processing, signal detection, financial modeling design and analysis. At the same time, as one of the three major mathematical software, it is unparalleled in numerical calculations in mathematical technology application software.

Say something human, what kind of tool is this? A tool that can tell you how the design is likely to work before you decide to spend money on a weapon, and as long as you can describe the problem and boundaries correctly, it can also provide you with answers.

In 2020, 13 universities including Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Renmin University of China, National Defense University of Science and Technology, Hunan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin Engineering University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, University of Electronic Science and Technology, Sichuan University, Tongji University, Guangdong University of Technology and Nanchang University were included in the “entity list” of MATLAB prohibited.

Website registration

Due to the high cost of MATLAB software and the US sanctions on Chinese universities, only a small number of schools that are not on the US required entity list spend money to purchase this software. Students only need to use the school’s unit to log in, and educationmailboxRegistration verification is sufficient.

We open the registered address: https://www.mathworks.com/ Click on the top right corner to get GET MATLAB, then clickCreate AccountButton to register directly with email. We need to use an edu email instead of a non edu email or a fake university edu email. What is a fake university? It refers to ac.cn on Taobao or searching for non-existent universities. As shown in the following figure:

To access your organization’s MATLAB license, use your work or university email. To access your organization’s MATLAB license, please use your work or university email.

If we use non real organization emails or commercial email for registration, we will prompt: We are unable to validate this email address If you must use this address, contact Customer Support. We are unable to verify this email address. If you must use this address, please contact customer support.

We use a real edu email to register, and it will directly prompt us to create a password:

We input the verification code received from the edu email to confirm the MATLAB account.

After we set the password, MATLAB will ask you to fill in the institution information, name, location, student type, research field, and whether you are over 13 years old in your email.

Unqualified cases

If the school corresponding to our email has not purchased MATLAB software authorization, we will directly prompt: You do not have any licenses linked to your MathWorks account, and you do not have any licenses associated with your MathWorks account.

Qualified cases

If our edu email school has purchased MATLAB software authorization, open it https://www.mathworks.com/mwaccount License viewing address will prompt:

Your account has been created and license has been linked with your account. Your account has been created and the license has been associated with your account.

We see that there is academic authorization under the MATLAB account, and the product attribute is Academic, which means academic. Our edu email will also receive messages from service@account.mathworks.com Sent byAccess your MathWorks licenseEmail reminder:

You now have a MathWorks software license associated with your MathWorks account

Email suggestion

Not recommended for piracy reasons:Of course, I have a friend who, cough, used pirated Matlab in school and still got an A+grade. But doing scientific research is different from doing homework in school. Doing scientific research requires publishing a paper, which is publicly available for everyone to see. If unauthorized Matlab results appear on the paper at this time, Matlab company personnel will come to check the water meter and demand huge infringement claims. Matlab also has powerful drawing capabilities, and the beautiful data tables we often see in various scientific literature are likely to come from Matlab, which can be easily found. So secretly using Matlab to study is feasible, but can you cover up all the researchers and not distribute papers? Let’s go further with conspiracy theories. If Matlab breaks down again and leaves a backdoor, allowing all pirated Matlab calculations to intentionally make mistakes, with 1+1=3, then many researchers’ painstaking efforts will be worthless.
