To support the Mathematica site license at Kansas State University, Wolfram Research will be on campus Tuesday, Sept. 14, to provide training for Mathematica 7. This training session will be 12:30-1:30 p.m. in 401 Hale Library, and there will be time after the training session to answer technical and licensing questions about Mathematica.
Mathematica is often thought of as useful for only math, but this training session will illustrate why Version 7 changes the pedagogy of teaching within biology, chemistry, economics, physics, engineering, and a number of other academic departments. The training session will focus on ideas for creating universal examples in Mathematica that can be used by colleagues or students with no prior Mathematica experience.
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 training sessions have reported 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 at this training session; please invite any students in your courses. If you have any questions about this event, contact Aaron Pollack, apollack@wolfram.com, 800-965-3726 ext. 3490.
