Seminar Objective This seminar illustrates, using concrete applications, how to work with datasets that have been imported into Mathematica using the Import function and how to export the results. The seminar is intended for individuals who are familiar with the Import and Export functions in Mathematica and illustrates a variety of processes that are commonly used to manipulate data from various file types.
Presenter The seminar is presented by a senior member of the Wolfram Research technical staff.
Topics
Excel Files
Importing an Excel workbook, formatting the data in Mathematica, extracting selected data, fitting models to the data, and exporting the results

Text Files
Importing a text file, extracting data from the file, and manipulating the data to construct a 3D model

HDF Files
Importing an HDF file, getting information about the contents of the file, and manipulating one dataset to produce a color map of the data

DXF Files
Importing a DXF file, using the data to construct a GraphicsComplex, separating the original image into components, and further manipulating in Mathematica

FASTA Files
Importing two FASTA files, using Mathematica to find similarities between two organisms, and efficiently sorting the data by sequence length to increase the performance

Delivery Type The seminar is delivered online using Adobe Acrobat Connect. Use any one of the supported web browsers on your computer with Flash Player installed. Once you have registered for a session, you will receive a confirmation email with a seminar login link.

For additional information about online seminars, see the FAQs.

Materials Mathematica notebooks and example files will be made available at the end of the presentation.
Prerequisites Some knowledge of Mathematica's Import and Export functions will be assumed. The focus will be on processing the data in Mathematica and exporting the results.
