Technical Talk on Mathematica 7

« Back

To support the Mathematica site license at the Colorado School of Mines, Wolfram Research will be on campus to give a technical talk. Mathematica is often perceived on campus as primarily useful for only math and/or physics, but this technical talk will illustrate why Mathematica 7 specifically changes the pedagogy of teaching within biology, chemistry, economics and a number of other departments as well. Ideas for creating universal examples in Mathematica that can be used by colleagues or students with no prior Mathematica experience will be a central theme.

The content will help attendees with no prior experience get started with the Mathematica language and workflow. Since there is a large amount of new functionality in Version 7, most intermediate and advanced users who attend these talks report learning quite a bit as well. All attendees will receive an electronic copy of the examples, which can be adapted to individual projects.

Students are also welcome; please invite any graduate or undergraduate students in your courses.
