A rock-solid overview of the powerful and interesting things you can do with Mathematica, punctuated with real examples. Teaches valuable computational math skills for everyone.
Mathematica is a math-oriented work environment and programming language. It's expressive, elegant, and high-level (less coding!). It runs on all operating systems, is provided on Athena, and can be bought cheap by students. Once you learn it you won't be able to live without it.
Some uses for Mathematica:
- Beefy calculator
- Graphical plotting
- Homework-facilitator
- Advanced projects
Class brings beginners up to speed, then focuses on interesting intermediate/advanced topics.
IMPORTANT:
Bring a well-charged laptop, and download the course materials from course website.
