Abstract
This workshop offers an overview of Calculus in Mathematica along with applications such as solitons, minimal surfaces and the Painlevé differential equations. A sample Calculus exam will be solved to illustrate the wide variety of problem-solving approaches that are possible with Mathematica. We will provide insight into the internal methods for evaluating integrals, solving differential equations and summing infinite series and compare these methods with conventional computation by hand. Our overall aim is to present some snapshots of historical, practical and educational significance from Calculus, using the symbolic, graphical and interactive features available in Mathematica 6.
