================================
Mathematica is used in a variety of fields--from math, physics,
and engineering to sociology, finance, and earth science. And
because Mathematica is available on campus, chances are good that
your students are using it, too. So I wanted to forward along two
of our most popular Mathematica tutorials, which I invite you to
share with your students (or even check out for yourself).
"Hands-on Start to Mathematica" is a free, two-part online
screencast that introduces Mathematica basics to get you started
with your first calculations, visualizations, and interactive
examples. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Part 1
here:

Many students have asked for more in-depth training, so we now
also offer "M10: A Student's First Course in Mathematica," a
self-paced video training course providing step-by-step
instructions on the basic features of Mathematica for students.
Through the included videos and practice exercises, students
learn how to navigate the user interface, build calculations,
create graphics and dynamic models, work with data, and more--for
under $30:

If you are teaching a class this semester with Mathematica, don't
forget to include these resources in your syllabus so students
can choose the type of tutorial that works best for them.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more
ideas on how to integrate Mathematica into your courses.
Sincerely,
