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 three cases:

• The computer you want to use Mathematica on is not permanently connected to the physics department network:

Since you are most likely here because you are interested in using Mathematica at home or on your notebook, we start with these cases which involve a little more work to get up and running:

• Mathematica Home-Use license for faculty members
• Mathematica Home-Use license for students
