Mathematica Licensing
Mathematica is a sophisticated program for solving mathematical problems symbolically as well as numerically. It produces 2-D and 3D graphs. It is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and a variety of other Unix platforms. For more information, see http://www.wolfram.com.
Who Can Use Mathematica Software?
Faculty/Staff: For a participating campus, licensing covers all campus-owned or operated computers used primarily for teaching, or directly in support of the teaching process (labs, office computers used by faculty or by staff preparing teaching materials for faculty). Participating campuses are entitled to updates, upgrades and new releases of the software for the duration of the SUNY contract. Authorized users include faculty and academic staff (persons employed by SUNY to support faculty members in the direct instruction of SUNY students, and for whom access to Products is necessary to perform the instruction support function). Faculty may receive free home use licenses upon request. These licenses will be valid for the duration of the SUNY contract. Should the SUNY contract be terminated or expire, faculty may purchase permanent licenses at a 50% discount.
Student: Students are granted licenses for the Student Version of Mathematica on Macintosh, Windows and Linux platforms. PI must provide a copy of the Mathematica License Agreement for the Student Version when distributing the software to students. Students are entitled to upgrades, updates and new releases of the software while they are students and the SUNY contract is in effect. When the contract is terminated, or the student leaves the University, the student must uninstall the software.
How to Obtain Mathematica
Faculty and Staff who qualify as above can obtain the software and license information free from their department representative or from Teaching, Learning + Technology, S-1464 Melville Library, 2-8050, for $10 payable by check, money order, or $9 if using a material and service requisition. Faculty or staff managing instructional labs may submit a request for funding from Teaching, Learning + Technology. Contact Matthew Froehlich at (631) 632-2778 for additional information.
Students can obtain the software for $5 from Seawolves Marketplace. Each student must sign a license agreement.
Expiration Date
Mathematica expires each year on October 31st.
