-Mathematica is NOT currently installed on the CAL system.  We are investigating licensing options.  In the meantime, if you have a Columbia 'uni', you can use mathematica installed on the cunix system.  To do this, log on to cunix with 'ssh your_name@cunix.columbia.edu' and then start mathematica with 'math' (for a text-interface) or 'mathematica' (for an X-windows interface).

+ssh -X username@cunix.columbia.edu

+You will probably get an xset error regarding fonts. 
+
+==== Installing the Mathematica fonts ====
+
+[http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/linux/general/latestfonts.html Download them here.]
+
+Install them in your home directory at CAL (not cunix). Make the directory tree structure look like this:
+
+~/.fonts/Mathematica/BDF
+
+~/.fonts/Mathematica/Type1
+
+To use the fonts, do:
+
+xset fp+ ~/.fonts/Mathematica/BDF
+
+xset fp+ ~/.fonts/Mathematica/Type1
+
+xset fp rehash
+
+Then log in to cunix and run Mathematica. It should now work properly.
