Can you give me a copy of Mathematica, Matlab or Maple for my home computer?

MATHEMATICA:

We have a departmental license that requires renewal once a year that allows Faculty to receive a copy of Mathematica for use on their laptop or home computer. You can come by my office (2-332) to get a copy of the software along with the necessary password. Note that as we have to renew our license annually you will need to request a new password once yours expires.

Graduate Students can purchase an annual license for $30 as described here:

MATLAB:

We have a 15 concurrent user license for Matlab. Faculty can get a copy for laptop or home use but every time Matlab is started it needs to connect to a license server here in the Math Department (a working Internet connection is required when starting Matlab)

Graduate students can now get Matlab for free from MIT IS&T has described here:

MAPLE:

We have a license from MIT for Maple. Both Faculty and Graduate students can get Maple for free for laptop and home use from MIT IS&T by following the instructions listed under "How to Obtain" on the following page:
