ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) for working with maps, geographic information and data. It is used for creating and using maps; compiling and working with geospatial information; analyzing mapped information; sharing, discovering and using maps and geographic information in a range of applications; and managing geographic information in a database.
EndNote is a software program designed to store and manipulate bibliographic information.
JMP
JMP accelerates exploration and discovery, giving you new ways to visualize and understand your data and share your findings with others. Analysis is faster, especially with large data sets, and you get more options for drag-and-drop graph-building, as well as new tools for analyzing quality and reliability data, designing efficient experiments, interactively comparing models, creating customized applications, and more.
Mathematica software analyzes data sets, solves complex differential equations, and develops an entire solution for fast, high-precision numeric and symbolic computation.
Students, Researchers, and Faculty who have active netID can obtain access to the MATLAB by signing into the Northwestern MATLAB Portal.
SAS
The SAS System is an integrated suite of software with modularly designed tools for data warehousing, EIS, OLAP, rapid application development, and applied analysis.
