The Department of Mathematics has several UNIX-based computers (Silicon Graphics Origin 2000 Parallel Supercomputer, Silicon Graphics Indy R5000 workstation, and Sun Sparc 10 workstation), a large number of Macintosh and IBM personal computers, digital scanners, laser printers, and color laser printers. Current software tools accessible on these hardware systems include FORTRAN and C/C++ compilers, technical plotting packages (such as TECPLOT+3DV of Amtec Engineering, FAST and PLOT3D of NASA), word processors, and Web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator and Mosiac). Many of these computers have T1-connection to the Internet and are available for faculty and student use.

The faculty and students have access to the HU Cray EL98 supercomputer. Several grants support access to off-site computer facilities at NASA and National Energy Research Supercomputer Center as well as aerodynamics and aeroacoustic facilities at NASA-Langley.
