Commercial Software

We have several Commercial Software Package installed on our System. This document describes what we have and how to use them.

Mathematica

Mathematica is an algebra system from Wolfram Research [1]. We provide the radical new version 6.0 and an older version 5.2. The following table shows awailable commands:

mathematica, Mathematica	calls Frontend-Version 6.0
math, MathKernel	calls Kernel-Version 6.0
mathematica-5.2, Mathematica-5.2	calls Frontend-Version 5.2
math-5.2, MathKernel-5.2	calls Kernel-Version 5.2

Remote usage of Mathematica

If you want to use Mathematica through a ssh-connection or through our NX-Server, the Mathematica fonts have to be installed on your local machine.

The recent Ubuntu 10.04 has a new package which can do this for you. Open your favorite software managment tool (eg. synaptic) or open a terminal window and enter:

 sudo aptitude install mathematica-fonts

This is a downloader package and downloads the fonts from the Mathematica site.

For older Ubuntu and Debian Versions we provide special packages. This packages can only be downloaded if your are at the ITP. Download the following files:

 http://th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de/~xela/ubuntu/pool/non-free/mathematica-xfonts-type1_5.2.0.0-1.13b_all.deb
 http://th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de/~xela/ubuntu/pool/non-free/mathematica-xfonts-75dpi_5.2.0.0-1.13b_i386.deb
 http://th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de/~xela/ubuntu/pool/non-free/mathematica-xfonts-75dpi_5.2.0.0-1.13b_amd64.deb

and install them with the command:

  sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Maple

Maple 12 is available with either "xmaple" or "maple".

Matlab

Matlab is available in Version R2008a with the command "matlab".

Intel Compiler and MKL

Intel Compilers Version 9 do no longer work with recent Ubuntu. Until the new packages are completed we provide a temporary solution for using the latest Version 11. See Intel Compiler Temp for details instructions, how to setup your environment.
