Connecting to remote Mathematica kernels on Victor and Igor

Here's how to create and connect to remote Mathematica kernels running on the Victor and Igor machines in the office.

These instructions currently do not describe how to connect through a VPN outside of Oxford.

1. Setup passphrase-free SSH

Windows

Skip this step. Windows users must instead enter the questlink@ password for Victor or Igor each time they connect to a remote kernel through Mathematica.

Rendering LaTeX-style plots in Mathematica

Here's how to render plots in Mathematica which fit nicely into LaTeX documents.

First, download the LaTeX fonts onto your machine. This page describes how to do so for MaCOS. This is not needed on Ubuntu.

To use the LaTeX font for both axis-numbers and labels, add this option to your plot on Mac OS:

LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "CMU Serif", FontSize -> 12}

and this on Ubuntu:

                How to quickly and easily insert syntax-highlighted code snippets into Microsoft powerpoint
              
          

        

      

        

  

      

    
Simply write your code in an editor which supports copying code with formatting (e.g. as RTF), such as WordPad, Visual Studio, TextMate and Notepad++.
You can then copy the code directly into Powerpoint, preserving the formatting and syntax highlighting.


I prefer using TextMate on OSX. In TextMate, simply highlight a section of code, then click Bundles > TextMate > Copy Selection as RTF and paste this straight into Powerpoint. This will preserve the highlighting used by your TextMate theme, which you can change via View > Theme > 


You can further mimic the font, which you can view in TextMate by View > Font >

Here's a convenient method for generating vector-graphic LateX equations for Microsoft Powerpoint presentations


You can generate a pdf on your machine which is cropped around a single equation with this LaTeX template


\documentclass[border=0pt,varwidth,fleqn]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}

\begin{document}
 \setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}

If you're manipulating files stored on a remote machine, such as ARCUS or ARCHER supercomputers, you can mount the
remote file system and interact with the files as if they were stored on your own machine.
This makes viewing, editing, and opening files in software on your computer a breeze.


To do this on OSX, first ensure you have homebrew installed.
If brew is not recognised in Terminal, run


ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
