- In case of difficulties installing or running the
program
- Contact us through one of the above links. We are
interested in getting you to where the program is properly installed
and functional. We can answer some questions about the use of the
program, but we expect you to do the bulk of the work in that area.
The blue-vested consultants in Computing and Networking labs are also
a good resource. We do not offer extensive programming or
mathematical problem-solving services.
- Other Notes
- Mathematica is in fairly wide use across
campus. It has a moderately steep learning curve. It's large and
detailed manual is online both on the internet and locally on most
machines that have it installed. Search the mines.edu website for
"Mathematica" to see a variety of local notes. There are many third
party books and add-ins for it. Our license includes the Standard
Addon Packages, but not other packages available from Wolfram (we do
get a discount on these) or other sources.
