The Math Department has computer systems available for mathematics and other uses.
Math Department Computer Account
The Math Department has a separate computer account system for logging in to Linux workstations and the computation machines. This allows faster operations in many cases. It also protects users' netid accounts because Math Department accounts have no ability to access resources under NetID accounts.
To set up a Math account, a Math instructor or system administrator must send an 'account invite' to a user's NetID. Once the user has been invited, they can use their NetID account and two-factor authentication to access the Math system and set up their Math account.
If you are eligible for a Math account, request an account invite from a Math instructor or a Math system administrator.
To change the password on a Math department account, or to invite a user to set up a Math account, go to Math Accounts Page
