Educational software

Various software packages are utilized for the educational process at the School of Mathematics. These include either proprietary software centrally purchased by the University or the School, or Open Source software distributed for free from it’s developers. The software is legitimately installed to all workstations of the Laboratory. Users who find any malfunction of the software shall get in touch with the administration team of the Laboratory, reporting the title/version of the software and the name of the computer.
