Program |
|
Mathematica is currently being used in hundreds of academic
institutions, research labs, and financial organizations around the
world. It can be used as both an interactive calculation tool and a
programming language. As a completely integrated numerical, symbolic,
and graphical system, Mathematica is an ideal tool for
prototyping algorithms, modeling, and experimenting. The Wolfram
Research Tour of India consists of a series of lecture presentations
by Dr. Rob Knapp. His lecture provides a unique insight into the world of
technical computing from the point of view of a mathematician and
developer of the system.
His lecture uses Mathematica to demonstrate how its design and key
technologies mesh to make it the technical software of choice for a wide
variety of applications. Following each presentation, Dr. Knapp answers
questions from the audience and shares his insights as both a
mathematician and developer.

Who Should Attend |
|
Anyone with an interest in the potential impact of technical computing
on education and research will benefit from this
lecture. Mathematica novices will gain an overview of the
system and an introduction to software design, while experts will gain
further understanding of specific design decisions.
