There are at least two versions, a commercial and public domain one. I ftp'd the public domain one (see below), and am getting Math Works to send info about the commercial one. Here is a summary of the responses: ------------------------------------------------ David Gutierrez <an12280@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu> Matlab <TM> is a product from The Math Works, Inc. 21 Eliot Street South Natick, MA 01760 Phone: (508) 653-1415 Fax: (508) 653-2997 They have an ad in the July issue of IEEE Spectrum on page 14A, it says that it supports: Macintosh, Sun, Apollo, HP 9000/300, DECstation, VAX/VMS or Ultrix Stardent, Convex, Encore, Alliant, Cray, and of course the PCs, ATs, 386-PCs. You can get Matlab for the Mac for $395 (educational price) --- Jim Flanagan <flanagan@stat.washington.edu> Actually Matlab on the Mac is really quite superior to any other platform I've used it on. ---- scott j bury <sjbury@owlnet.rice.edu> One small point, the version I like so much is running on a IIcx or more importantly an 030 (or 020) and 882 (or 881) enivironment. They include a version for the SE which is really only useful for light work. However if you have a 030 machine it does some serious number crunching. A mag review said it is unmatched for numerical throughput on the MAC. Public Domain version: ---- Bob Crossett <crossett@eleazar.dartmouth.edu> Matlab does exist for the Mac. I used it at the Univ. of CA at Santa Barbara two summers ago running in a lab of Mac IIcxs. There may have been a version for the SE lab as well. Try contacting UCSB for help! ----- Jan Deleeuw <deleeuw@math.ucla.edu> There is a very good and completely free version of Matlab, called MatC, for the Mac. It is written in C, comes with sourcecode, is easily to extend with additional build-ins, has Mac graphics (2dim, 3dim). Order from Fran Karmitz L-496, Lawrence Livermore National Lab PO Box 5504 Livermore, CA 94550. ftp from peabody.llnl.gov (128.115.53.1). Do cd matc/mac, and then get AAREADME. The directory does not have ls.
