Which products should I select ?

When I download and install R2024a i saw alot lot of products ,what should i install as a Mathematics student ?

[Matt J]

What are you studying? What kind of things does your curriculum require you to do?

[Josip]

I am studying Civil Engineering, but I am downloading MATLAB for a class which covers the following topics: system identification, estimation, state-space models and properties of systems in time and frequency domains. Application examples may include electro-mechanical mechanisms and systems, fluid and thermal systems, chemical processes, and wave transmission.

In the class I must:

1. Create MATLAB and Simulink models to represent, analyse and solve problems related to real world physical systems.
2. Perform estimation and system identification to create mathematical models of physical systems.
3. Use Bond Graph and Bode plots to mathematically model physical systems across electrical, mechanical and hydraulic domains.
4. Generate state space equations for a system from the Bond Graph model.
5. Describe the concepts related to steady state and non-steady state systems across a variety of different physical domains.

Would you be able to recommend some products I should download?

The good thing is you don't have to decide right now. You can use the Add Ons Explorer to add additional toolboxes as the need arises.

For getting started, you might consider just adding what is on the student suite.

• MATLAB
• Simulink
• Control System Toolbox
• Curve Fitting Toolbox
• DSP System Toolbox
• Image Processing Toolbox
• Instrument Control Toolbox
• Optimization Toolbox
• Parallel Computing Toolbox
• Signal Processing Toolbox
• Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
• Symbolic Math Toolbox

For mathematics, I suspect even some of these wouldn't be necessary. For example, I don't see you needing Simulink or the Instrucment Control Toolbox.

First of Iman electrical and electronics engineering students so what products do you recommend

Second reason of the products selected above dependents on any products not selected

[Cris LaPierre]

For you second question, see this page: Add-On Product Requirements & Platform Availability

For your first question, it entirely depends on what you are doing. If you don't know yet, start small and use the add-ons explorer to add additiona lproducts as you need them. A good starter bundle might be

• MATLAB
• Optimization Toolbox
• Signal Processing Toolbox
• Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
• Symbolic Math Toolbox
