The Computer Lab, managed jointly by the Mathematics Department and the Computer Science Department is in Stright 112B. As you face Stright 112 from the hallway, the Mathematics Department's computer classroom, Stright 112A, is on the right and the lab is on the left. Each has its own entrance. The computer lab is open to the entire IUP university community. Accounts for the Silicon Graphics workstations are given only to students in certain pre-approved courses and to mathematics majors.

Hardware

The computer lab has 22 Dell computers running Windows XP. An adjacent room contains 4 Silicon Graphics, Inc., (SGI) O2 workstations running the Irix operating system. Irix is SGI's version of Unix. Macintosh computers are available in the Curriculum Laboratory for Elementary Mathematics (CLEM) Room.

Software

The software on the Dell computers includes Microsoft Office, Mathematica, Matlab, Minitab, SPSS, Scientific Notebook, Geometer's Sketchpad, and Visual Studio. The Silicon Graphics workstations have Mathematica, MPI (Message Passing Interface), PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), a C compiler, TeX, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and various Unix and graphics utilities installed, including Perl and the Pine mail program.
