The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science maintains four computer laboratories in Doucette Hall and Ross Hall for use in Mathematics and Computer Science classes. The laboratories are available at times as open labs for Mathematics and Computer Science majors and others taking specific Mathematics and Computer Science classes. 

The main laboratory in Doucette Hall 222 has 25 Linux and 5 Windows workstations for general use. The workstations are Pentium IV systems from HP and Gateway. The linux machines currently running Red Hat Enterprise Edition Version 3, and are scheduled for an operating system upgrade. 

A smaller laboratory in Doucette Hall 221 houses the servers for the department and provides an area for specialized study by computer science majors working on projects. There are Sun Ultra 5 systems running Solaris 7.

A wireless teaching laboratory of 30 IBM laptops is available for any of the classrooms on the top floor of Doucette Hall. The laptop systems are running Windows XP.

The Dundee laboratory in Ross Hall has 39 workstations running Windows XP for general use. This lab was upgraded in 2007 with workstations supporting dual monitors. 

The department employs a wide variety of software. Some examples are MathSoft MathCad, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Visual Studio. These systems have a broad base of Mathematics and Computer Science users, ranging from students taking the general education courses to major students. Languages available include C++, Prolog, Visual Basic, and LISP. The linux/unix machines are used primarily as development systems which support the Computer Science courses.

The workstations are all connected to the University network which provides access to the internet.

The department operates a cluster computer, consisting of 16 Dell workstations running Fedora Core 3. We are currently in the process of combining this cluster with a cluster maintained by the Physics department to achieve at least 32 nodes. The new cluster will be maintained by the department and used for scientific computation by researchers within the school of Science, Management and Technology.
