Mathematica Workshop Overview
Mathematica is the tool of choice at the frontiers of scientific research, in engineering analysis and modeling, in technical education from high school to graduate school, and wherever quantitative methods are used. Along with supporting numerical inputs, Mathematica supports the world's largest collection of symbolic transformation rules, allowing sophisticated manipulation and reduction of formulas. The objective of this workshop is to provide direct experience with all of the basic features of Mathematica as well as a comprehensive foundation for developing advanced applications of the system. Applicants need not to have prior experience with Mathematica. This workshop is also helpful for experienced users who would like to broaden their basic understanding of Mathematica as well.
