The following software applications are recommended for incoming freshmen in Summer & Fall 2008. Some of these applications are downloadable from the web or a GT server at no cost to students. See software.oit.gatech.edu for further details.
Some classes require the use of specific software, much in the same way that they require a textbook. We recommend buying educational software—such as Maple, Matlab, and Dreamweaver—as you would buy a textbook. Go to class first. If the class syllabus requires a particular software package, buy it or download it from software.oit.gatech.edu at that time.
