    Is anyone familiar with how to install the 32 bit Student Version of Matlab in Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit)?

    You could use wine or make a windows VM. Either should run the application, but depending on what VM software and what hardware you allocate will determine if wine runs it better or worse.

    Matlab runs natively on Linux.

    MATLAB has a native Linux version, as stated already. I think you should be able to install the 32-bit version in a 64-bit system if you have the 64-bit compatibility libraries.

    Sorry, don't know how do you do that in Ubuntu, as I haven't used it since 9.xx. You could have a 32-bit system inside a chroot, which is pretty much having a 32-bit Ubuntu within your 64-bit one: 64 bit - Chroot into a 32 bit version of ubuntu from a 64 bit host - Ask Ubuntu - Stack Exchange

    Don't know how well it works with MATLAB, I have only used the 64-bit version myself, and this was briefly.

    Threre's also a program called "Octave" that does very similar functions.
