Does anyone know if Mathematica is available for Ubuntu Mate? Will it run on 16.04?
Or, is it proprietary to the Raspian crowd? Thanks for any assistance.
There is a version of Mathematica for Linux. I haven’t tried the latest version, but I suppose it works. At least version 8 was working fine when I checked it.
Does this help?:
Thank you both. I will investigate those options tonight and report back here.

It didn’t work. I could not find the “installer” program that was referenced. I will try the Repository.
If you know anymore about this subject I would greatly appreciate it .
Hi @N3JQD,
did you activate it as well?:
http://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/ActivatingMathematica.html
It works.
After you download the massive 3.6GiB shell archive file (Mathematica_10.4.1_LINUX.sh), you need to make it executable – “chmod 755 Mathematica_10.4.1_LINUX.sh” and then
sudo ./Mathematica_10.4.1_LINUX.shinstalls Mathmatica to /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.4.
It takes a LONG time on my quad core system. YMMV
I’ve forgotten how to run it 
– startup stuff is in /usr/local/bin when install is finished.
EDIT: It creates a menu item in Applications too. Excellent!

No, I did not activate it yet. I have not had a moment to try the download.
But, I erased my Raspian to use the sc card for something else. So, there’s no going back to old Raspian.
Ubuntu, or bust.
Tnx.

Raspberry PI or i386/AMD64? I tested it on AMD64.
Sorry, I should have been more explicit. RPi3. Overclocked and running great.
Thanks for your assistance.
