• ArcGIS

  ArcGIS is a scalable system of software for geographic data creation, management, integration, analysis, and dissemination. The 8.1 release contains three key developments. First, it marks the unification of the ArcView and ArcInfo environments. Second, it introduces a new software program with functionality between ArcView and ArcInfo called ArcEditor. Third, it adds a series of ArcGIS extensions that operate with the new software architecture. The full ArcGIS desktop is available in the Data Analysis and Visualization Lab. Some components can be launched over the Web:

• ArcView 3.3

Use ChemSAR with Property Server to set up tables for structure-activity relationship studies. Launch Chem3D via the Web.

• ChemDraw

  ChemDraw includes stereochemistry recognition and display, multi-page documents, ChemNMR with spectral display, and Name=Struct for instant structure generation. AutoNom creates IUPAC names from structures. Launch ChemDraw from the Web.

• ENVI

  ENVI, the Environment for Visualizing Images, is the most advanced, yet easy-to-use remote sensing software available. ENVI will transform the way you work with remote sensing data. Launch ENVI via the Web.

• GeoLytics CensusCD 2000 Long Form

  This data set contains variables such as income, housing, employment, language spoken, ancestry, education, poverty, rent, mortgage, commute to work, etc. There are 5,500 variables at the Block Group level and over 10,000 more variables at the larger geographies such as tract, zip code, county and state level. For a complete list of variables, click here. The data set includes all of the available cross-tabulated variables (income by age, employment by race) released by the US Census Bureau.

• GeoLytics CensusCD Neighborhood Change Database 1970 - 2000

  CensusCD Neighborhood Change Database (NCDB) gives users instant access to US Census data from 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000 at the census tract level. The NCDB contains 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Long Form data with details such as: population, household, and housing characteristics, income, poverty status, education level, employment, housing costs, immigration, and other variables.

• IDL

  IDL, the Interactive Data Language, is the ideal software for data analysis, visualization, and cross-platform application development. IDL combines all of the tools you need for any type of project, from "quick-look," interactive analysis and display to large-scale commercial programming projects. Thousands of technical professionals use IDL every day to rapidly develop algorithms, interfaces, and powerful visualizations and quickly crunch through large numerical problems. Launch IDL via the Web.

• Maple Release 10

  Maple V Release 8 is a powerful interactive computer algebra system that provides a complete mathematical environment for the manipulation of symbolic algebraic expressions, arbitrary-precision numerics, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, and programming. Launch Maple Release 10 via the Web.

• Mathcad 11.1 Enterprise Edition

  Mathcad is the industry standard calculation software for technical professionals, educators, and college students. Mathcad is as versatile and powerful as programming languages, yet it's as easy to learn as a spreadsheet. Launch Mathcad 11.1 via the Web.

• Mathcad 13

  Today's top engineers use Mathcad to perform, document and share calculation and design work. The unique Mathcad visual format and scratchpad interface integrate standard mathematical notation, text and graphs in a single worksheet - making Mathcad ideal for knowledge capture, calculation reuse, and engineering collaboration. Launch Mathcad via the Web.

• Mathematica 10

Launch Mathematica 5 via the Web.

• Matlab 7

  MATLAB® is a high-performance environment for applications in engineering and science that includes tools for mathematical computation, analysis, visualization, and algorithm development. The intuitive MATLAB language—available in both interactive and runtime modes—enables technical professionals to express their ideas and solutions naturally and faster than they could with C and other traditional programming languages. Launch Matlab 7 via the Web.

• Microsoft Access

  Access offers an easy-to-use database for managing and sharing data. Access 2000 brings not only the traditional broad range of easy data management tools but also adds increased integration with the Web for easier sharing of data across a variety of platforms and user levels and additional ease-of-use enhancements to assist with personal productivity.

• QSR NUD*IST

  N6 is the latest enhancement to QSR NUD*IST. Assists researchers in organizing and analyzing complex qualitative data. Allows you to import and code textual data, edit the text without affecting the coding; retrieve, review and recode coded data; search for combinations of words in the text or patterns in your coding; and import data from and export data to quantitative analysis software.

• R - Statistical

  R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers and colleagues. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity. Launch R via the Web.
