to submit only one single .nb file for one homework
assignment. Name your Mathematica notebook file
systematically, e.g., Assignment_1, Assignment_2, etc. The
Mathematica notebook files are to be submitted to the USM
E-learning portal. Please also check out a template for
the homework assignment, assignment_template.nb.
Details of the assignments are to be found in the USM

To this end you have to go through some online
procedures before they send you the passwords and
license. Please follow the online instruction here.
The most essential information you need to supply
is your USM student email account. Wolfram will
not entertain your request if you do not supply
them with an USM email account (e.g.,
tlyoon@student.usm.my).

Alternatively, you
can also install the
Mathematica using network license. The
"location" for the network license is
comsics.usm.my. Computer installed with network
license can only get activated if the computer
remains connected in USM local network.
