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

2. 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)

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

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

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

6. Entering Mathematica Commands

7. Getting Rid of the Prompt math -noprompt

8. Getting Commands from a File << file.nb

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

10. Redirecting Output to a File

11. Saving Plots to a File
