Introduction to the Mathematica Text Interface for UnixLinux

Introduction to the Mathematica Text Interface for Unix/Linux Kernel Part 1 MCSR Math Camp

Why Use the Text Interface? - If you don’t have access to Mathematica on a Windows or Mac desktop - To run Mathematica in batch Mathematica is available on willow (Solaris) and cypress (Linux). Coming soon to mimosa (Linux)

Launching the Kernel: math From willow Solaris command line, type: math

Launching the Kernel: math From cypress Linux command line, type: math

Log in to willow A. Use secure Shell to login to willow using your assigned training account ssh student@willow. mcsr. olemiss. edu B. Change directories to your numbered subdirectory: cd 30

Entering Mathematica Commands

Getting Rid of the Prompt math -noprompt

Getting Commands from a File << file. nb

Running a Batch File math –run “<< file. nb”

Redirecting Output to a File

Saving Plots to a File
