Reasons for Switching to Wolfram Mathematica: Mathematica was free at the University of Washington but MATLAB wasn't. Also MATLAB is clunky for solving symbolic math and I was excited to use Mathametica to do calculus. Wolfram Mathematica (usually called Mathematica) is a modern technical computing system made by Wolfram Research. Today, Wolfram Mathematica is used for the.
Eligibility:
Faculty
Staff
Students
The site license covers the Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma campuses. Mathematica passwords and activation keys will only be distributed to 'u.washington.edu' 'uw.edu' or 'uwb.edu' email addresses.
UW Owned Computers:
Under this license currently registered UW students, faculty and staff are eligible to use Mathematica on University-owned equipment. It is expected that all UW owned computers that normally stay on campus will utilize the Physics run License Server: MathLM.phys.washington.edu During activation you can enter the DNS name of our server 'MathLM.phys.washington.edu' and this will activate the software. NOTE: This should only be done for machines that will stay on campus. If there are technical reasons why you can not utilize the campus license server please contact mathematica@uw.edu
Student Personal Computers:
Currently enrolled students at the Seattle, Bothell, or Tacoma campus may install Mathematica on their personally-owned computer for free.
Faculty, Staff Home use:
Through this license UW faculty and staff only are eligible to request a free Mathematica license for their personally-owned computer under the Home-use program.
Cost:
Wolfram Mathematica Login
Currently FREE as of June 28th 2019. Several dedicated departments and colleges pulled funds together to renew the campus-wide site license for Mathematica.
Software Overview:
Mathematica is a general computing environment, organizing many algorithmic, visualization, and user interface capabilities within a document-like user interface paradigm.
Since version 1.0 in 1988, Mathematica has steadily expanded into more and more general computational capabilities. Besides addressing nearly every field of mathematics, it provides cross-platform support for a wide range of tasks such as giving computationally interactive presentations, a multifaceted language for data integration, graphics editing, and symbolic user interface construction.
This product is available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix.
See the vendor's web site for additional information.
