How to Get Mathematica

Mathematica is currently installed in the following locations: Computer Labs ◼ All public and general labs Computer Clusters ◼ The Mathematica license for Lebanon Valley College allows for on dedicated research clusters and ad-hoc, or distributed, grid environments. For details, please contact Charles Yang at

Mathematica can also be installed on: ◼ Campus machines Please contact your IT department at [email protected] with regards to installation

◼ Faculty and staff personally-owned machines Fill out this form to request a home-use license from Wolfram.

◼ Student personally-owned machines Students can buy discounted licenses through Wolfram’s Web Store; but if you’re teaching with Mathematica, or a significant quantity of students will be purchasing licenses, please contact Charles Yang ([email protected]) at Wolfram Research for better discounts.

Are you interest in putting Mathematica elsewhere or other Wolfram products? Please let IT or Charles Yang ([email protected]) at Wolfram Research know.
