mathematica

Mathematica is the world's most powerful global computing environment. Ideal for use in engineering, mathematics, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, and a wide range of other fields, it makes possible a new level of automation in algorithmic computation, interactive manipulation, and dynamic presentation--as well as a whole new way of interacting with the world of data.

Features include instant dynamic interactivity, high-impact adaptive visualization, symbolic interface construction, load-on-demand curated data, and more.

Is Mathematica available for my machine's operating system?

Mathematica is available for on-site machines running Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Home-use licenses are available for machines running Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Click here for a complete list of platforms supported.

How do I get more information about student licensing?

Mathematica is commonly used in our classes. You should buy a student edition of this world-class mathematical software. It is only a fraction of the retail cost, yet fully-functional! The only difference is that each page you print will have “student edition” printed at the bottom. You can also get it for just 1 semester for an even lower price. You can buy it through the website http://www.wolfram.com/. For support questions, you can ask your professors or contact the Wolfram Student Support Forum.
