Scientific calculation¶

Mathematica¶

Mathematica can be downloaded at this URL (You must be on the Polytechnique network): https://jetons.polytechnique.fr/softs/Mathematica/

Here is the procedure to request a Mathematica license:

A contract for a site license has been signed by École Polytechnique's DER for the period 2019-2022.

All École Polytechnique research laboratories have access to it, but not the teaching part.

The types of unlimited licenses available are:

licenses by network token,
single-user licenses,
Home Use licenses.

To use Mathematica from a landline on the École Polytechnique network, it is best to use a network token. To activate the license on a network token, choose "Another ways to activate", then "Network License Server", and finally put: jetons.polytechnique.fr

Then, to use Mathematica on a laptop, there are 2 possibilities:

If the laptop was purchased by a laboratory of the Ecole Polytechnique, you must request a single-user license.
If the laptop is personal (purchased by a researcher personally), a Home Use license must be requested.

To request a Home Use license, here is the form to fill out: https://www.wolfram.com/services/premiersupport/homeuse.cgi

You must use a professional email address: firstname.lastname@polytechnique.edu (not gmail)

For the Activation Key, use: 4708-8774-2E8G58

For a single-user license, here is the form to fill out: https://user.wolfram.com/portal/requestAK/17622aad636ecf09c1e%0ff254e09b15206c0006c

You must then create an account at Wolfram with your professional email address: firstname.lastname@polytechnique.edu

Mathematica from the CPHT lab network via a network token¶

You must connect in SSH on one of the casimir machines [8-9] and execute this command:

ssh -Y login(Q)casimir9(P)cpht(P)polytechnique(P)fr

then

mathematica

If Mathematica asks you for a license, you must choose Other ways to activate and Network license server, and finally http://jetons.polytechnique.fr.
