Homework:
Webwork

Our department computer lab is in AMB 222. Computers and free tutoring are also available in AMB 137. Math Achievement Program Tutoring options.

Mathematica notebooks

Mathematica is available in many NAU computer labs and on NAU's virtual desktop

You can install it on your computer following the instructions.

You should be able to use Wolfram Cloud in your browser.

You can always call NAU ITS help line 928-523-9294 or Ask-STC@nau.edu and ask how you can have access to Mathematica.
