Mathematica is a high-level computer language for symbolic computation. Math 222 uses basic Mathematica tools to create interactive illustrations, check calculations, solve problems where the algebra is too tedious to do by hand. The university provides a license for all students, so no purchase is necissary. Directions for installing and activating the software can be found on the Geneseo Wiki.
