Accounts to third-party services? (Wolfram Alpha, etc.)

<p>What kind of access to third-party <em>services</em> are we given at Stony Brook? I don't mean products like MATLAB, Visual Studio, or Photoshop, nor do I mean SOLAR, e-mail accounts, SVN servers, or anything else that Stony Brook directly offers. I mean things like Jstor, Wolfram Alpha Pro, Google Scholar, Easybib...</p>

<p>We are given access to a bunch of databases and stuff online from our library’s website. But do you really need all those other things? Like Wolfram and Easybib? I didn’t even know there were non-free programs for those. I find the regular wolfram website for math, and the regular easybib site for essay/paper writing, to be sufficient.</p>

<p>True, but I’m just curious. And Wolfram Alpha Pro has a lot of more features, granted most of them are probably more relevant to upper-level math courses than Calculus 1 and 2.</p>

<p>Gotcha, haha, I didn’t even consider that. I dont need any math beyong Calc IV (currently in III) so I have no need beyond the basic stuff, i guess. I know my professor told us to use a program called Maple which we could get for free on the school website, so maybe you can check out other things that are available, in case they interest you and if you haven’t seen these yet</p>

<p>Those are products, not services. And I have a friend…let’s call him Juarez…that can help me with all of that anyway.</p>
