This is not a STEM Ed Program.
Contact information is below.
================================
To support the area Mathematica site licenses, Wolfram Research
will be at Amherst College Wednesday, August 25 to give a
technical talk on Mathematica 7 from 12-1pm. The talk will be
held in Mullins Room of Lewis-Sebring Commons inside Valentine
Hall.
This seminar will be given 100% in Mathematica and will show
useful teaching and research examples for mathematics, the
physical sciences, engineering, and business/economics. Special
emphasis will be given to WolframAlpha technology, Wolfram's
natural language processing technology and how this is the
perfect starting point for student projects. Ideas for creating
universal examples in Mathematica that can be used by colleagues
or students with no prior Mathematica experience will also 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 students who are on
campus before the start of the semester.
To make sure we have enough space, please let me know if you plan
to attend or if your students are likely to attend. I look
forward to meeting you!
Best regards,
Kelvin
