Newsgroup:

We will be using the in-house news service of the CS department. Please subscribe to class.cs257 at news.cs.uiuc.edu

Matlab Access:

"[EWS has] created the work directories for cs257/math257. To access them, [you] should type 'cs257' at a unix/linux prompt. If [you] want to use them from Windows, [you] would first need to login on a unix/linux machine and run 'cs257'. This will create a link in their homedirectory named 'cs257.work'. Now, on an EWS Windows machine, if [you] go to their EWS Home Directory, [you] should be able to click on 'cs257.work' to get to [your] cs257 work directory. Let [EWS] know if you have further questions or concerns."

EWS has UNIX Matlab info HERE

EWS has Windows Matlab info HERE

There are also reports that VNC software (such as RealVNC) can be used from home to connect to the EWS computers in order to run Matlab.

The machines are:
csil-termserv1.cs.uiuc.edu
and
csil-termserv2.cs.uiuc.edu

Student version are available for $99. check the Cites Webstore or The MathWorks for more info. You may also have a network license available through Cites.

Octave is also an alternative and is FREE. A windows executable can be found HERE.
