'''Systems and Software'''
The Linux systems are running Ubuntu
We also have Linux machines that are dedicated computation machines. You can see the list of machines at [[MachineList]]. You can connect to the machines remotely by following the instructions here: [[Connecting]].▼

'''Mathematics Software'''
* Matlab (Type <b><tt>matlab &</tt></b> in a terminal window)
* Wolfram Mathematica (Type <b><tt>mathematica &</tt></b> in a terminal window)
* Maple (Type <b><tt>maple</tt></b> in a terminal window for the text-based system, type <b><tt> xmaple & </tt></b> for the graphical system.)
* Magma (type <b><tt> magma </tt></b> in a terminal window. Magma is a text-based
* GAP (type <b><tt>gap</tt></b> in a terminal window. Gap is text-based.)
and many others.
'''Home Directories'''▼
Home directories for Math Department accounts on the Linux systems use storage on a central file server. All files in home directories are backed up nightly.
'''Email'''▼
The Math Department used to host its own email server. This has been phased out and all email is now handled by the central Cornell email system, on Office365.
'''Web Publishing'''▼
The Math Department has web servers for hosting web sites for individuals, programs, and classes. Those who need websites for classes are strongly encouraged to use Cornell's [https://login.canvas.cornell.edu Canvas] system. If you have evaluated Canvas and have determined that it will not meet your needs, then contact us at mathit@cornell.edu so we can get you set up with a self-serve website for your class.
