Some universities have site licenses for Maple and Mathemaica that allow faculty to download free copies on their home machines. This requires contacting the sysadmin people--who themselves are often not aware of this perk. I have found that contacting the company that makes the product often helps to speed the process. --Edwin On Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 3:38 PM, Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net> wrote:
Yes! I can use a command-line interface with the command
math
(which didn't work until this morning, just a minute ago).
However, despite logging in with
ssh -X
I seem to get no graphical output whatsoever on my home machine.
E.g., I type
Plot[x^2,{x,1,4}]
and Mma responds with the character string
-Graphics-
but it ain't on my machine!
--Damn

Dan, Can you log in remotely to that system? Then open an x-terminal window Then type math
(on most machines it is /usr/common/bin/math )
That should start a command-line version of mathematica

Sheesh, I can't even *get* the text-only interface.
When the options box finally gets around to opening, it offer +Notebook, +Slide Show, +Other.
Clicking on any one of these, if it has any effect at all, takes to long to see a response that any further messing with this setup is clearly a waste of time.
