List of software which might be useful for graduate math:
- Mathematica (outdated version 4) and Maple (also outdated version 9.5) are available on panda.
- MATLAB (current version) is available on the thin client server beyonce from computer lab 744.
- 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.
Most of these packages are installed either on the Math department's login server panda (also known as login.math.berkeley.edu) or on the thin client server beyonce. See here for instructions on connecting to panda from your personal computer.
See also the list of text editors for various operating systems.
MacPorts
MacPorts is a program for Mac OS X which makes it easy to install and update most of the free software packages above and many others as well.
