Mathematics Software

  • LiE

    On a command line, type:

    lie
  • Macaulay

    ssh to ssh.math.ias.edu/ On a command line, type:

    M2

    If you want it on your workstation, please send a request to have it installed

  • Magma

    On the Linux Servers: ssh

    On a command line, type:

            magma

  • Maple

    On your Linux Workstation:
    On a command line, type: 
               maple 

           or:

          xmaple
    Or in the start menu, go to: Mathematics->Maple or: Mathematics->Xmaple

  • Mathematica

    On your Linux Workstation:
    On a command line, type: mathematica for the graphical interface, Or type: wolfram for the text-based interface, Or in the start menu, go to: Mathematics->Mathematica

    On your personal machine:

    If you are using Mathematica on campus through the site license, you can request a home-use license for your personal machine here: http://url.wolfram.com/45LiTeg/ You'll need your organization's site license number, which you can get from your on-campus installation of Mathematica (select "Help" > "About Mathematica") At the prompt, type $ActivationKey for the activation key Or type $LicenseID for the License number

  • Matlab

    On your Linux Workstation:
    On a command line, type: 
    matlab
    Or in the start menu, go to: Mathematics->Matlab

    For a terminal-based matlab, type: 
    wolfram or WolframKernel
    • On your personal laptop:

    There is no personal license available. You may run Matlab remotely

    1) Find out the name of your workstation. On a command line, type 

    $ hostname
It should be in the form of som[a|f|mos|s][Office #].math.ias.edu
where a= A building, f = Fuld, mos = Modular Office Space, s = Simonyi
Office # is your office number.  If there are multiple desks in your office, there may be [a-g] appended at the end.
    2) Find out the IP of your workstation. On a command line, type 
    $ host `hostname`
    3) First create a Port Forward from your laptop through ssh1.math.ias.edu to your workstation somXXXYYY.math.ias.edu 
    $ ssh -L 2222:<IP_NUMBER_FROM_STEP_2>:22 <your_username>@ssh1.math.ias.edu
    4) Open another terminal window on your laptop to connect to your workstation 
    $ ssh -X -p 2222 <your_username>@localhost
    5) From the same terminal window in Step 2, type Matlab. It should open up the GUI on your laptop. We currently have 2019a installed. 
    $ matlab

  • Mosek

     On a command line, type mosek

  • Sage

    Sage is an open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.

    On your Linux Workstation:
    Run 'sage' on the command line
