Mathematica by Wolfram Research is available to all faculty, staff, and current registered students for academic-related activities at no additional cost to the end user.
Availability of the Mathematica software is provided through a license agreement coordinated by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and funded by the Technology Fee. The license agreement allows for at-home use of the software for educational-related activity only. The license agreement expires annually.
The Mathematica license for Indiana University of Pennsylvania allows for parallel computing on dedicated research clusters or in ad-hoc or distributed grid environments. For details, please contact Andy Dorsett at Wolfram Research, adorsett@wolfram.com.
Installations on university-owned machines should be coordinated by logging a ticket via ihelp.

Mathematica
The first two tutorials are excellent for new users and can be assigned to students as homework to learn Mathematica outside of class time.
- Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica
This tutorial helps you get started with Mathematica—learn how to create your first notebook, run calculations, generate visualizations, create interactive models, analyze data, and more. - Introduction to Mathematica for Students and Teachers (online course)
Use this tutorial to learn about solving math problems in the Wolfram Language—from basic arithmetic to integral calculus and beyond. - What's New in Mathematica 14
Stephen Wolfram's blog post covering new features in Mathematica 14, including connections to AI and improvements in our core language and resources. - How To Topics
Access step-by-step instructions ranging from how to create animations to basic syntax information. - Mathematica Resources
Browse Wolfram's large collection of learning materials and support resources. - Introduction to Notebooks (interactive open course)
Learn to use Wolfram Notebooks for computing, programming, generating reports, and creating presentations with this interactive course.
Mathematica
Mathematica offers an interactive classroom experience that helps students explore and grasp concepts, plus gives faculty the tools they need to easily create supporting course materials, assignments, and presentations
- Teaching and Learning with Mathematica (free video course)
Learn how to make your classroom dynamic with interactive models, explore computation and visualization capabilities in Mathematica that make it useful for teaching practically any subject at any level, and get best-practice suggestions for course integration. - Preparing and Giving Presentations
Learn how to create a slideshow presentation that combines graphics, calculations, and nicely formatted text with live calculations or animations. - Wolfram Demonstrations Project
Download pre-built, open-code examples from a daily-growing collection of interactive visualizations spanning a remarkable range of topics. - Wolfram U Courses on Classroom Resources and Instruction
Access on-demand and live courses about using Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and other Wolfram technologies in your classroom.
Rather than requiring different toolkits for different jobs, Mathematica integrates the world's largest collection of algorithms, high-performance computing capabilities, and a powerful visualization engine in one coherent system, making it ideal for academic research in just about any discipline.
