What is Mathematica?
Mathematica is a powerful global computing environment ideal for use in many science and technology fields, including mathematics. Mathematica allows for automation in algorithmic computation, interactive manipulation, and dynamic presentation, as well as allowing for interacting with the world of data. ESU students, faculty, and staff have access to Mathematica.
Computer Labs
Mathematica is currently installed in all general and public labs on campus.
How to Get Mathematica?
Computer Clusters
The Mathematica license at ESU allows for parallel computing both on dedicated research clusters and in ad-hoc, or distributed, grid environments. For more details, please contact Andy Dorsett of Wolfram Research at adorsett@wolfram.com.
