Mathematica 9 is available on software.rutgers.edu

Mathematica 9 introduces the new Wolfram Predictive Interface and adds over 400 new functions, including:

* Highly integrated units support, including free-form linguistic entry, conversions, and dimensional consistency checking across graphics and numeric and symbolic calculations
* Major new data science, probability, and statistics functionality–including survival and reliability analysis, Markov chains, queueing theory, time series, and stochastic differential equations
* R fully integrated into Mathematica workflow for seamless data and code exchange
* Integrated analog and digital signal processing
* 3D volumetric image processing and out-of-core technology that scales up performance to very large 2D and 3D images and video
* New graph and network analysis, including a built-in link for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more

Software Collection Development — University Site Licenses

Building Towards a University-wide Site-licensed Software Collection for the Rutgers Community

The software collection development process uses the IT_faculty_liaisons and Academic_IT mail lists as a means to reach out to the community and a way to receive feedback. In addition, both groups and all IT support staff receive a monthly IT digest that includes updates regarding existing site licenses. And now, all software updates are posted to the Software Blog.

In an effort to expand access to and use of site licensed software,  this software is made available in the public labs on all campuses and to the extent possible under the site license agreements the software is made available on the applications server called Apps.rutgers.edu (Apps). The Apps service is available to the university community and can be accessed via a browser from on or off campus. For more info regarding Apps, refer to the start up documentation. And starting in the fall 2013 semester, Apps will provide an HPC node that will provide access for HPC instruction and development.
