Mathematica Version 7
Students use Mathematica to complete assignments. After registering, you will receive a University of Illinois login, called a Net ID. This can be used to log into the University's online store, the Cites Web Store where you can purchase Mathematica at a substantial student discount.
More information can be found on the Wolfram Reasearch site. The minimum system requirements may be found here.
(Mathematica Version 5 and 6 are also supported)
