“Wolfram Research will be on campus Tuesday, September 18 to give a technical talk on Mathematica 8 from 11:45am-1pm.  The talk will be held in the Math Lab of the Loyola Science Center, Room 328.

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. Ideas for creating universal examples in Mathematica that can be used by colleagues or students with no prior Mathematica experience will 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 8, 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 and Faculty from all departments are welcome to this event.

To make sure there will be enough space, please email andy_dorsett@wolfram.com to RSVP for the event.”
