Mathematica: Graphics (Self paced)

Prerequisites

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.

• Knowledge of matrix algebra and simple calculus is assumed.
• Prior attendance at the "Mathematica: Basics" course or equivalent experience
• Those attending should be able to use a plain text editor (e.g. emacs, gedit, pico, vi) on a Unix system as might be obtained from the Emacs or Vi introductory courses.

Number of sessions: 1

• Handling graphics
• Plotting data
• Combining graphics

Self-paced practicals.
