Some recent postings have had conflicting information about the
limitations in the Student Edition.

The Student Edition of MATLAB is published by Prentice-Hall and
is available to students in college bookstores for the price of a
typical textbook.  It is essentially MATLAB 3.5, limited to
vectors or matrices with 1024 elements -- that's a 32-by-32 matrix,
not 10-by-10.  The PC version uses the math coprocessor if it
is present, but does not require it.  The Mac version has two
executable images, for with and without math coprocessor.  Hard
copy output is limited to screen dump -- there is no graphics
post processor.  The User's Guide alone, without any software,
is also available for students who have access to MATLAB in
campus labs, but don't have their own personal machines.
