====== Mathematica at the Physics department ======

{{ :software:mathematica:mathematica.png?nolink|}}The FU Physics department has a Mathematica site license. You can therefore use Mathematica on any computer at the department and you are also eligible to receive a license for using Mathematica on your home computer or notebook. Depending on your status (student or faculty) and the type of computer (centrally managed or self-administered, networked or offline) installation and activation of the software may differ.

Basically there are two cases:

  * The computer you want to run Mathematica on is **not permanently connected to the physics department network** (e.g. your computer at home or your notebook). In this case you will need a [[software:mathematica:single-user|single-user license]].
  * The computer you want to run Mathematica on is **permanently connected to the physics department network**. In this case you should use a [[software:mathematica:network-license|network-license]].
