A sequence of three classes will be given.
The first is basic introduction to Mathematica. The presentation will focus on the integration between WolframAlpha's Mathematica 8. Wolfram Alpha can be used to quickly learn Mathematica's core language. Topics will include symbolic and numeric calculations, graphics and charts, guis, and load on demand data sets. No prior knowledge of Mathematica is necessary. BYOL with an MIT student Mathematica license installed.
The second day is a BYOL workshop that illustrates Mathematica's multi-paradigm programming language built-in functions and algorithms can be create models publication quality visualizations Some advanced programming concepts will be introduced. Attendance of the previous Mathematica IAP session is helpful but not required. However, some experience with basic Mathematica code is necessary.
The third session introduces Wolfram’s SystemModeler for multi-domain modeling projects. Using the open Modelica standard, SystemModeler's drag-and-drop interface will be discussed and illustrated multiple disciplines like electrical, mechanical, thermal, biochemical, and other fields. BYOL for hands-on exercises, no prior knowledge of this modeling tool is necessary. Extended trial licenses will be available to attendees.
