Remote Login to calclabnx.math.tamu.edu
We strongly recommend that students obtain their own copy of Python via the Anaconda Distribution. This distribution includes Jupyter, NumPy, SymPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and many other packages. We have some local documentation for installing python on various operating systems.
Students may also purchase MATLAB plus the Symbolic Math Toolbox from The Mathworks.
We also provide remote login access via X2go. The result is a remote Calclab display usable over home broadband Internet connections on which to run Jupyter, Matlab, and Maple.
Instructions for X2Go

You may transfer files to and from your Calclab account by several methods.
