Mathematica (desktop & online)
A software package used by engineers, economists, mathematicians, and scientists to perform a range of specific technical computing tasks. Wolfram’s original flagship product for over 30 years.
Features
Mathematica can be used for symbolic and numeric computation, visualization, and application development.
Features include:
- Use of Mathematica for multi-paradigm data sciences, machine learning or neural nets, image processing, and unique data processing
- Use of Mathematica to obtain closed-form solutions, analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and shared applications
- A numeric and symbolic computational engine, graphics system, programming language, documentation, and advanced connectivity to other applications
Get Started
Mathematica and Mathematica Online are best as a pair of products for calculations and sharing finished projects. Follow the download links below or submit a request to Tufts Technology Services or call TTS at (617-627-3376).
To install Mathematica on a computer:
- Go to wolfram.com/siteinfo and enter your @tufts.edu email
- Click “Download” to install the current version of Mathematica
- After the installer runs, click “Sign In” under Activate through your organization (SSO), and enter Tufts login
- Click to “Download” Mathematica multiple times for multiple machines (campus or personal)
- After initial activation, Mathematica can be used on or off network
To set up Mathematica Online:
- Go to wolfram.com/siteinfo and click “Go to Mathematica Online”
- Enter Tufts login to connect or subscribe
- Optionally, download Wolfram Cloud app (iOS and Android)
You can request a cluster account by going to research.uit.tufts.edu and submitting the application form.
Before accessing Mathematica on the cluster, please contact Tufts Technology Services at 617-627-3376 or it@tufts.edu for an assessment of whether or not your computer’s display meets Mathematica X-Windows support requirements. On occasion, the TTS Service Desk may need to make configuration changes for compatibility.
