Mathematica Student Certification can give student resumés the competitive edge needed in many career fields. Many businesses are looking for employees to solve problems in a quick, efficient manner--like Mathematica users can do. Students who want to demonstrate and receive recognition for their Mathematica skills are invited to take the certification test.

The test covers fundamental constructs, basic functions, advanced constructs and functions, advanced programming, and real-world problems. Students will be expected to create and analyze commands and variables to determine errors, write programming code, and solve mathematical problems. The test also asks students to demonstrate their abilities in plotting, creating graphics, and defining functions.

The test is in notebook form and administered in English. Students can download the notebook after registering on this site. Once the notebook is downloaded, students will have 72 hours to take the test and send it back to us for grading. During the grading process, students will be expected to answer real-time questions over for the phone for further verification of Mathematica knowledge.

In order to receive Mathematica Student Certification each student needs to have a faculty sponsor. Each student's sponsor should be a professor at the school the student currently attends. We will contact each sponsor to verify student-status.

To take the test, students should register here.
