These nine, self-paced tutorials that will expose you to various Mathematica tools and skills. Note: You must have Mathematica installed on your computer to open these files. During these tutorials, you'll:
- Learn a subset of Mathematica by example
- Get a feeling for the structure of Mathematica and some of its potential
- Learn how to find out information about Mathematica and its various commands
- Develop the ability and confidence to pick Mathematica up again, even if some time has gone by (but not too much time)
- Have a sense of the power and scope of Mathematica and whether you want to invest the time and effort in learning this software package.
Here are the 9 tutorials as well as the introductory material from the workshop for which these were created.
