JupyterHub, which gives you access to Jupyter notebooks on any of the fast machines at the department. Jupyter lets you use Python, R, SageMath, and many other things, as well as providing a terminal, file uploads and downloads, and a file editor. Your jupyter session is persistent, so you can close your browser and connect again later, and your session will still be available. You can also connect to clusters to run your code across many machines, either at Math, or elsewhere, all inside a jupyter notebook! There are numerous add-ons and settings for JupyterHub, so if there is something you'd like to see there, please request it.

Web Desktop. Web Desktop allows you to use a Linux desktop from inside your browser. There is no need to install client software or use a VPN. You can access major software packages such as Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, and other desktop applications.

Web Disk. The old-fashioned webdisk is still available through the browser. Jupyter Notebooks gives you most of the file access you need, but some folks still like the webdisk. It does a good job of transferring files through the browser, and is especially good for large files. (Hint: go to preferences and choose 'hide dot files')
