The departmental systems are equipped with all the usual UNIX, Linux and Windows associated software, including GNU compilers, MS Office, Star Office and a complete TeX/LaTeX installation. In addition, the following major software packages are available for instruction and research.

FEMLAB
FEMLAB (Finite Element Modeling Laboratory) is an advanced software package for modeling and simulation of physical processes using partial differential equations. The most recent version installed on our system is V3.0

Magma
Magma is a professional package for computational algebra. It is used primarily for research in the department.

Maple
This professional package emphasizes symbolic, graphical and numerical computations. The most recent version installed on our systems is Maple 9. Previous versions are also available. This is the primary package used in the Calculus sequence MATH242-243, as well as in MATH302 - Ordinary Differential Equations, and in MATH349 - Elementary Linear Algebra.

Matlab
Matlab is a professional package which provides a programming language emphasizing numerical linear algebra. The most recent version installed on our systems in Version 6.5.

Minitab
Minitab is a statistics package used in the Math 201/202 statistics courses. The current version is Release 13.

Software developed by UD Math Faculty

BlobFlow
Developed by Dr. Louis F. Rossi, BlobFlow(TM) is a general Navier-Stokes solver for two-dimensional, incompressible flows.  It is a variation of the vortex method, and as such, will be most effective when used for flows dominated by isolated regions of vorticity.  This particular variation is based on elliptical Gaussian basis functions and the formal term for the algorithm is the "elliptical corrected core spreading vortex method" or ECCSVM, for short. For more information visit the BlobFlow(TM) website.

Schwarz-Christoffel toolbox for MATLAB

Developed by Dr. Tobin Driscoll, this is a Matlab toolbox for the computation of conformal maps to polygonally bounded regions. For details visit Dr. Driscoll's software page.
