It has grown throughout the years as a programming environment for data analysis, algorithm development, visualisation and numerical computing. It is developed by the company MathWorks, specialised in mathematical software for scientists and engineers, and has become a highly outstanding tool within the field of artificial intelligence.

The campus license is available to teaching and research staff as well as students. Its software can be installed in both university computers and in personal devices. In addition, through the use of this platform, students will acquire experience and skills highly valued in fields such as aerospace, robotics, medicine, technologies applied to education, etc.
