List of software which might be useful for graduate math:
- Mathematica, Maple, and MATLAB are all available on panda.
- Octave is a free program that runs most MATLAB code.
- Singular, Macaulay 2, and CoCoA are free programs for doing computational commutative algebra. The first two are available on panda with the command names Singular and M2 respectively.
- Polymake is a free software package for computations with polytopes, polyhedra, etc. Available on panda.
- MAGMA does computations with many algebraic objects. Not free, but available on panda.
All of these packages are either freely available or installed on panda (also known as login.math.berkeley.edu), the math department's login server. See here for instructions on connecting to panda from your personal computer.
