| This is a seminar on utilizing Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and other
Wolfram technologies for teaching and research. I like to begin with a
technical overview of Mathematica, as well as briefly touching on the
creation of Wolfram|Alpha. Next, we can discuss emerging trends in
technology and what is currently available (or being developed) to support
those trends. Then, to give you a sense of what's possible, I'll discuss
how other organizations use these tools for teaching and research. I think
you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how suitable these technologies are
for projects, course examples, and student assignments in any course where
data and mathematical relationships are involved—from social science
to business and economics and across all STEM fields. Attendees with no prior experience will learn how to get started with Mathematica, thanks to improvements like free-form input and the new Predictive Interface, which anticipates your next steps and helps you quickly build up a series of calculations. Advanced users report that they learn quite a few timesaving tips and tricks from the seminar. All attendees will receive an electronic copy of the examples, which can be used as is or adapted to individual projects. No matter your level of technical expertise, you'll find this seminar very informative. |
