Math Software: Matlab and Mathematica (Students)

Wharton students have access to free copies of Mathematica and MatLab while they are enrolled at Wharton.  These software packages are only available for Wharton-related research, business, teaching and learning.

Mathematica

1. Set up a Wolfram Portal account at https://user.wolfram.com/portal/registration.html Use your Wharton email address as the username (username@wharton.upenn.edu)
