Mathematica is a modern technical computation software system with over 6,000 built-in commands. It is traditionally used in STEM fields for academic research or in course work but is useful for computations in almost any field. Mathematica covers symbolic and numeric solutions to mathematical problems, statistics and data analysis, visualization of mathematics or data, creating programs or algorithms, text and language processing, optimization, image processing, and includes curated data sets.
Install Mathematica on a Drexel-owned PC
Note: If you're working from off campus and have a Drexel-owned PC, you'll need to connect to Drexel's Virtual Private Network (VPN) before you can install Mathematica from Software Center.
- Do one of the following, depending on which version of Windows is running on your PC:
- In Windows 11, select Start > All apps > Software Center.
- In Windows 10, select Start > Microsoft Endpoint Manager > Software Center.
- Under Applications, select Mathematica > Install.
Install Mathematica on a Drexel-owned Mac
- Go to Finder > Applications > Self Service.
- Sign in with Drexel Connect.
- Under Browse, select All.
- Locate Mathematica and select Install.
Activate Mathematica on a Drexel-owned PC or Mac
- Go to user.wolfram.com and sign in using your Drexel email address as your Wolfram ID. If you don't have a Wolfram ID, select Create one and follow the instructions to create a new Wolfram ID.
Note: You must use your Drexel email address and will need to check your email to validate your Wolfram ID.
- Go to wolfram.com/siteinfo, enter your Drexel email address, and choose I am a student or I am a faculty/staff.
- Select Get Mathematica Desktop and complete the activation key request form. Your activation key will be sent to your email.
- Select Get Mathematica Online to provision a license for the browser-based version of Mathematica. This adds additional functionality and resources to a desktop app.
- Open the Mathematica app:
- In Windows 11, select Start > All apps > Wolfram Mathematica > Wolfram Mathematica.
- In Windows 10, select Start > Wolfram Mathematica > Wolfram Mathematica.
- If you have a Mac, go to Finder > Applications > Mathematica.
- On the Wolfram Product Activation screen, enter your activation key, and then select Activate.
Install and activate Mathematica on a personal-owned PC or Mac
- Go to user.wolfram.com and sign in using your Drexel email address as your Wolfram ID. If you don't have a Wolfram ID, select Create one and follow the instructions to create a new Wolfram ID.
Note: You must use your Drexel email address and will need to check your email to validate your Wolfram ID.
- Go to wolfram.com/siteinfo, enter your Drexel email address, and choose I am a student or I am a faculty/staff.
- Select Get Mathematica Desktop and complete the activation key request form. Your activation key will be sent to your email.
- Select Get Mathematica Online to provision a license for the browser-based version of Mathematica. This adds additional functionality and resources to a desktop app.
- Run the installer and on the Wolfram Product Activation screen, enter your activation key, and then select Activate.
Tip: You can request more than one activation key to install Mathematica on multiple personal devices.
