Olin now has site-wide licenses for Wolfram Mathematica Online and Wolfram|Alpha Pro, which will last until July 03, 2021. To access these licenses, you must first create a WolframID. Go to https://user.wolfram.com/ and use your Olin email to create your ID. You will need to access the email they send you to validate your Wolfram account.

Once your account is created, follow these links to request access to these online services:

• Mathematica Online: https://user.wolfram.com/portal/requestAK/5c35db7a60395a3fd220fb5b325d4ce19b825da6
• Wolfram|Alpha Pro: https://user.wolfram.com/portal/requestAK/0f789745ae4d4e21e0b2dc1f584b902fe9462112

Sign in with your Olin address and fill out the form. Students pay close attention to the student status and update to Yes you are a student as the default is No. Wolfram will then send an email to complete your verification. Note: it can take several minutes for the email to send. Follow the link in the email, sign in if asked, and click Go To Product next to the service you're verifying. You will be taken to the product's website, where you will need to sign in with your Wolfram account again. Your access is now verified, and you will be able to use these services until July 03.

You can access either service at its website:

• Mathematica Online: https://www.wolframcloud.com/
• Wolfram|Alpha Pro: https://www.wolframalpha.com/

Mathematica Online can also be accessed from the Wolfram Cloud app on mobile devices.

If you have an existing Mathematica installation, we recommend you uninstall your current version and reboot your computer prior to installing the latest version.

Mathematica 12.1 is now available via the instructions below.

Wolfram Research has discovered a potential security vulnerability in Mathematica 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 on Linux operating systems. Under certain circumstances, users of a system running these versions could execute arbitrary Wolfram Language code as root.

Updated installers are now available in the Wolfram User Portal: http://user.wolfram.com

Site users can also address this vulnerability on their local machines by following the steps outlined here: http://support.wolfram.com/kb/41501

If you have any questions, please contact Wolfram Research: https://wolfr.am/technical-support

Please note: Mathematica 12.1 for Linux no longer supports 32-bit Linux. Mathematica 11.3 for Linux does support 32-bit Linux and can be installed by selecting Mathematica 11.3 for Linux instead of Mathematica 12.1 for Linux when following the instructions below.

For a complete list of supported Linux distributions and system requirements, visit: http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/system-requirements.html
