=== How to download and activate Matlab for home-use ===

Matlab is available to students, faculty, and staff for use on a home computer.  For more information, go to [https://service.northeastern.edu/tech?id=kb_article&sys_id=3155c16c1b08f01064c11f8a234bcbb9 ITS KB Article: How do I access MATLAB software?]
