Obtaining Additional MathWorks Products Obtaining Additional MathWorks Products lany college courses recommend MatLAB as standard instructional software. In some cases, the courses may require particular toolboxes, blocksets, or other products. Toolboxes and blocksets are add-on products that extend MATLAB and Simulink with domain-specific capabilities. Many of these products are available for student use. You may purchase and download these additional products at special student prices from the Math Works Store atwww.mathworks.com/store. Some of the products you can purchase include Bioinformatics toolbox Communications blockset Control System Toolbo Fixed-Point toolbox mage Processing Toolbox Neural Network toolbox Optimization Toolbox Stateflow@(A demo version of Stateflow is included with your MATLAB Simulink Student version.) For an up-to-date list of available products and their product dependencies visit the math Works Store note the toolboxes and blocksets that are available for the matlab Simulink Student version have the same functionality as the professional versions. The only restrictions are those described in"Differences Between the Student and Professional Versions "on page 1-11. Also, the student versions of the toolboxes and blocksets will work only with the Student Version. likewise the professional versions of the toolboxes and blocksets will not work with the Student version 1-5
