How to Get Mathematica
Mathematica is currently installed in the following locations:
Computer labs
All public and general labs
Computer clusters
The license at Lebanon Valley College allows for parallel computing both on dedicated research clusters and in ad-hoc, or distributed, grid environments. For details
on how to do this, please contact Andy Dorsett at Wolfram Research.
Mathematica can also be installed on:
Campus machines
Please send an email to solutions@[Link] for an installation.
Faculty and staff personally owned machines
Fill out this form to request a home-use license from Wolfram.
Student personally owned machines
Students can buy discounted licenses through Wolfram's Web Store, but if you're teaching with Mathematica,
or a significant quantity of students will be purchasing licenses, please contact Andy Dorsett at Wolfram
Research for better discounts.
Are you interested in putting Mathematica elsewhere? Please let IT or Andy Dorsett at Wolfram Research know.
Mathematica Tutorials
The first three tutorials are excellent for new users, and can be assigned to students as homework to learn
Mathematica outside of class time.
Hands-on Start to Mathematica (videos)
Follow along in Mathematica as you watch this multi-part screencast that teaches you the basics—how to
create your first notebook, calculations, visualizations, interactive examples, and more.
Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica and Programming with the Wolfram Language (book)
Learn Mathematica at your own pace from authors with 50+ years of combined Mathematica experience—
with hands-on examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and authors' tips that introduce you to the breadth of
Mathematica with a focus on ease of use.
Mathematica & Wolfram Language Fast Introduction for Math Students (online book)
Use this tutorial to learn about solving math problems in the Wolfram Language—from basic arithmetic to
integral calculus and beyond.
What's New in Mathematica 11
Provides a list of new functionality in Mathematica 11, and links to documentation and examples for these
new features—including 3D printing, audio processing, machine learning and neural networks, and text and
language processing.
