Background
Des Penny provides Mathematica training courses to help users learn about
Mathematica quickly. He also consults with Mathematica users desiring to
implement Mathematica applications.
Dr. Penny has eight years of experience with Mathematica. He has taught
Mathematica for
Scientists and Engineers for the past five years at Southern Utah University. This course
explores many substantial applications of Mathematica in engineering, mathematical, and
scientific areas. He has used Mathematica extensively in his other courses including
Quantum Mechanics and laboratory courses for data manipulation.
Dr. Penny has given a number of talks and workshops on Mathematica, most recently
at the American Association of Physics Teachers in Anaheim, California, in January 1999.
He has used Mathematica extensively in his research interests, primarily in exploring
minimum energy configurations of soap films, development of
geometry theorems, and geometrical explorations of molecular configurations.
Training Information
Dr. Penny has used Mathematica since 1992 and has been a Mathematica
trainer since 1994.
