Program |
|
The Wolfram Research Tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland consists of a series of
lecture presentations by Sarah Flannery, author and former Irish and European
Young Scientist of the Year. Her lecture provides a unique insight
into the world of technical computing, from the point of view of a
young person who used Mathematica to broaden her understanding
of mathematics and computer science. Her lecture demonstrates
how Mathematica's design and key technologies mesh to make it
the technical software of choice for a wide variety of
applications. Following each presentation, Flannery will answer
questions from the audience and share her insights from both the
scientific and software development perspectives.
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, modelling, and experimenting.

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.

About the Speaker |
|
Sarah Flannery is currently a research associate in the Scientific
Information Group at Wolfram Research. Her responsibilities include
developing the soon-to-be-released Wolfram Collaboration Tool
and coordinating the company's educational outreach
programs. Flannery made her mark in the technical computing world
at a young age. In 1999, as a high school student, she was a winner of
both the Irish and, later, European Young Scientist of the Year awards
for her work on cryptography. The following year her popular-science
bestseller In Code: A Mathematical Journey, written with her
father, David, was published at the request of Profile Books Ltd.,
London. In June 2003 Flannery gained a B.A. in computer science
from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.
