Information for Mathematica Software

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.

 

Mathematica is available for onsite machines running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Unix. A limited number of faculty and staff home-use licenses are available for machines running Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. Click here for a complete list of platforms supported.

 

Computer Lab Machines
Mathematica is currently available on all computer lab machines in the Arts & Sciences Teaching Lab (College Hall, Rooom 243). Please contact Brett Hendricks to include additional computer labs.

Onsite Machines
Our site license enables you to use Mathematica for teaching or academic research projects. Please contact Brett Hendricks for installation media.

Employee-Owned Machines
Employees can request a free home-use license for a personally owned machine directly from Wolfram Research. You will need our site license number, which is available by contacting Brett Hendricks.

Student-Owned Machines
Students can purchase discounted licenses for personally owned machines through Wolfram Research. Faculty are encouraged to let Brett Hendricks know if a significant number of students will use Mathematica for a course, as additional discounts may be available.


 

When you install MathLM, a single-machine Mathematica license, or Mathematica for Students, you need to register your license to receive a password.

Web: http://register.wolfram.com
Email: register@wolfram.com
Toll free (U.S. and Canada): +1-877-239-7177
Outside the U.S. and Canada: +1-217-398-5151

To obtain a password for your work machine, you'll need our site license number (available by contacting Brett Hendricks). If installing Ion a personally owned machine, you should use your home-use license number. You'll also need the MathID number that is generated and displayed by the product during the installation process. Tips for locating your MathID number are posted here.

 

Your Mathematica license expires each year on July 31. To continue using Mathematica, follow the instructions below:

Onsite Installations: To continue to use Mathematica, you must contact Brett Hendricks before July 31 to extend your license. After you obtain a license extension, you will be able to obtain a new password for Mathematica so you can continue to use the license until July 31 of the following year.

Employee-Owned Machines: To continue to use Mathematica, please fill out the Home-Use License Request Form. After you obtain a password extension, you may continue to use the license until July 31 of the following year.

Student-Owned Machines: To continue to use Mathematica for Students, you must contact Brett Hendricks before July 31 to extend your license. After you obtain a license extension, you will be able to obtain a new password for Mathematica for Students so you can continue to use the license until July 31 of the following year.

 

Full information on the functions, capabilities, and unified structure of the Mathematica system is available online through the Wolfram Mathematica Documentation Center.
