I'm a student from Afghanistan and I like to use Mathematica to experiment with as a hobby. But I cannot afford it. Does any one know of a free option?

6$\begingroup$ Depending upon your use needs, wolfram cloud basic is free. There are also ways to have a jupyter environment running the wolfram engine that is free for developers. Here is a link. $\endgroup$– CA TrevillianMay 11, 2021 at 2:12

4$\begingroup$ Here's an idea: Have your teacher contact Wolfram (wolfram.com/contact-us ), and ask if they would be willing to donate one copy of Mathematica to your school, which would be installed on a school computer. Then all the students would have access to it. He should include a link to the school's website. $\endgroup$– theoristMay 11, 2021 at 3:00

4$\begingroup$ Since the comments have turned (mostly) into a discussion of constructive alternatives, let me note that a cheap way to get a licensed copy of Mathematica is to purchase a Raspberry Pi computer. It's good for other educational purposes, too. $\endgroup$– John DotyMay 11, 2021 at 11:25

One idea would be to use Wolfram Alpha (which is free) and has many of the same capabilities as Mathematica. – bill s
