Mathematica

In order to complete this course, you will need to download a copy of Mathematica. Please note that Mathematica works on both PC and MAC operating systems.

Concordia has a university-wide license for the installation and use of Wolfram's Mathematica. But in order to use it, you must have a Concordia email address in the form: your_netname@live.concordia.ca.

The good news is you already have such an email address; it just needs to be activated. By "your_netname" we mean the same NetName that you use to log in to you MyConcordia portal.

How to activate your Concordia email and download Mathematica:

1. To activate your Concordia Email

Log into your Student Hub
Click on 'Accounts and Settings'
Click on 'Computer Accounts and Passwords'
You will see your_netname (email office 365).
Click on your_netname and follow the instructions to activate your email.
To access your email use the following link ; http://outlook.com/live.concordia.ca

2. Set your Concordia email as your home email

Log into your Student Hub
Click on 'My Student Centre'
Click on 'My Student Centre' again
Scroll down to the 'Personal Information' Section
Under 'Contact Information', click on 'Home E-mail'
Enter your Concordia email address (your_netname@live.concordia.ca) as your 'Home' email address
Click on 'Save' to submit the changes
Now wait 24 hours to allow the system to update

3. Download Mathematica

Once you have waited 24 hours

Log into your Student Hub
Click on 'Software and Applications'
Click on 'Mathematica'
Follow the instructions to request a Mathematica key
Once you receive a key (by email), you will be able to return to the Software and Applications section of your MyConcordia portal to download Mathematica.
Please note that all emails from Concordia University will be sent to your ‘Home E-mail’. After installing Mathematica you can keep your new email or choose to switch back to your original email address.
