MATLAB 6.5.1
MATLAB is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numerical computation. Using MATLAB, you can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran.

Read more about MATLAB.

To launch MATLAB, in the Finder, double click on "/Applications/General/X11/Matlab_6.5.1/Matlab 6.5.1". The icon that appears in the Dock at the bottom of the screen is NOT MATLAB, but a helper application that launches MATLAB. It will bounce alot because it is set to bounce for about 30 seconds no matter what else is happening. Eventually it will go away and a second MATLAB icon will appear in the dock. That is the real MATLAB application.

If the MATLAB application never appears, then try opening MATLAB in xterm. If there are errors, you will see them in the xterm window, and then you can report this to us.

You can launch MATLAB in xterm by typing:

/Applications/General/X11/Matlab_6.5.1/bin/matlab
