---+ Symbolic math software on the Nevis Linux cluster To answer the question that led you here: No, at present we do not have [[http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/index.html][Mathematica]] at Nevis; nor do we have [[http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/][Matlab]] or [[http://www.maplesoft.com/Products/Maple/][Maple]]. The licenses for these packages cost money, and must be regularly renewed. The [[http://cuit.columbia.edu/cuit/software-downloads][Columbia]] [[http://cuit.columbia.edu/mathematica][site licenses]] reduce, but do not replace, these license fees. Instead, the cluster offers the open-source alternatives to these mathematics packages: * [[http://maxima.sourceforge.net/][Maxima]] is a symbolic math package that's an alternative to Mathematica or Maple. * [[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/][Octave]] is a numerical computation package that can serve as a replacement for Matlab. * [[http://www.r-project.org/][R]] is the open-source equivalent to the statistics environment [[http://www.insightful.com/products/splus/][S-plus]]. These packages are installed on every user system of the Nevis [[Linux cluster]]. You might want to consider [[http://www.sagemath.org/][SageMath]], a [[http://www.python.org][Python]]-based wrapper around several public-domain symbolic math packages including the ones listed above. It's available via our [[IPython][notebook server]] at [[https://notebook.nevis.columbia.edu/]]. If you require one of the commercial packages for your work, it would have to be handled on an individual basis; we'd have to purchase a license for a particular computer on which you work for a specified interval of time. As an alternative, these packages are available at the [[http://www.columbia.edu/acis/facilities/labs/locations.html][campus computer lab]] and on the [[http://www.columbia.edu/acis/email/cunix.html][CUNIX server]].
