Objectives

The objective of the courseware is to give confidence in trying a variety of commonly needed Mathematica operations in mathematics and its applications.
Materials

Notebooks on a variety of topics common to mathematics science and engineering, including geometry of curves and surfaces using Alfred Gray's Mathematica functions, and statistics. Online courseware includes: http://www.ma.umist.ac.uk/kd/mmaprogs/MI.nb

Description

Mathematical operations using Mathematica are given in notebooks and all are live in the sense that you can alter the commands to try your own functions. Some supporting course notes are available online.

Topics:
  • Basic operations
  • Basic calculus
  • Functions of several variables
  • Demos
  • Standard form
  • Animation
  • Special functions
  • Statistics
  • Curves
  • Surfaces
