About MATHEMATICA
Mathematica is the world’s most widely used math processing software. It goes beyond mere arithmetic operations and has hundreds of built-in functions that allow it to perform everything from equations and calculus to complex function calculations with precision and speed. It can be used on a wide variety of OS, from Windows and Macintosh to UNIX machines such as SUN and Linux, so it can be used in a variety of environments.
Waseda University entered into a site license agreement with Wolfram Research in March 1993 for the mathematical processing software Mathematica. According to this license agreement, Mathematica can be installed and used on computer owned by Waseda University.
