Mathematica: Graphics (Self paced) Prerequisites
Description
This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.
Mathematica is a software package for numerical computation, symbolic manipulation and the production of graphics from mathematical functions and data. This course examines Mathematica's graphical capabilities in more detail than the "Mathematica: Basics" course.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of matrix algebra and simple calculus is assumed.
- Prior attendance at the "Mathematica: Basics" course or equivalent experience

Topics covered
- Handling graphics
- Plotting data
- Combining graphics
Format
Self-paced practicals.
System requirements
Mathematica v. 7 on PWF Linux
Notes
- No attempt is made to teach mathematical techniques.
- Attendees may also be interested in the "Mathematica: Linear Algebra" course.
