The Cockrell School of Engineering is participating in a multi-year University System licensing arrangement to provide Mathematica software. Both personally owned computers by Students, Faculty and Staff as well as university-owned computers are eligible to leverage this licensing arrangement.
About Mathematica
Mathematica seamlessly integrates a numeric and symbolic computational engine, graphics system, programming language, documentation system, and advanced connectivity to other applications. It is this range of capabilities--many world-leading in their own right--that makes Mathematica uniquely capable as a "one-stop shop" for you or your organization's technical work.
Mathematica can be used for:
- Handling complex symbolic calculations that often involve hundreds of thousands or millions of terms
- Loading, analyzing, and visualizing data
- Solving equations, differential equations, and minimization problems numerically or symbolically
- Doing numerical modeling and simulations, ranging from simple control systems to galaxy collisions, financial derivatives, complex biological systems, chemical reactions, environmental impact studies, and magnetic fields in particle accelerators
- Facilitating rapid application development (RAD) for engineering companies and financial institutions
- Producing professional-quality, interactive technical reports or papers for electronic or print distribution
- Illustrating mathematical or scientific concepts for students from K-12 to postgraduate levels
- Typesetting technical information--for example, for U.S. patents
- Giving technical presentations and seminars
