Notebook Pages, Slides and Tabs

Video Lesson | FREE

Changing the organization and style of a notebook can make the content easier to understand and present. Wolfram Notebooks can be displayed in a variety of ways. This video will show you techniques for controlling the display of slides, pages, hyperlinks and tabs.

Notebook Presentations Using Presenter Tools

Video Lesson | FREE

Wolfram Presenter Tools seamlessly extends your notebook workflow for easy creation and delivery of dynamic presentations and slide shows. In addition to new UI elements—including a theme chooser, a quick-editing toolbar and popout palettes for notes and navigation—Presenter Tools provides new screen environments with responsive content scaling. This video demonstrates how to create and customize your presentations using these new notebook features.

Notebook Programming with Controls

Video Lesson | FREE

Wolfram Notebooks contain many buttons and settings that control inputs and appearances. This video will show how to use palettes and built-in functions to create control mechanisms in notebooks and how to create custom palettes within notebooks.

Notebook-based Workflows for Data Explorations
(Study Group Sessions)

Archived Event | FREE

Discover the different workflows included with Wolfram's extensive documentation system. Learn about the detailed, step-by-step recipes for the computational tasks needed to build more complex technical projects. These videos start with a brief introduction to Wolfram Notebooks and then quickly move to more practical tasks like importing data, creating visualizations and doing basic analysis. You will be instructed in utilizing the user-friendly notebook environment and the elegance of the Wolfram Language to quickly create interactive interfaces to aid your data explorations and visualizations.

Opening and Closing Notebook Cell Groups

Video Lesson | FREE

Wolfram Notebooks are hierarchical documents organized with cells, but it is not always desirable to see every cell all the time. Cells can be manipulated in a variety of ways to either create different groupings or hide specific cells. This video will show how to manage the cell groups.

Powering Higher Education with Computational Technology
Webinar Series

Archived Event | FREE

Learn about using Wolfram Notebooks in your courses and in the classroom to increase student engagement and promote concept exploration. Encourage group collaboration by sharing notebooks in the Wolfram Cloud, and explore the educational potential of Wolfram|Alpha. This three-part webinar series provides a gateway to making your content interactive with powerful computational tools immediately accessible to students, teachers and researchers.

Programming a Countdown Timer

Video Lesson | FREE

Countdown timers are basic tools that can be made with several built-in functions in the Wolfram Language. Timers can have different appearances or functionality, depending on which function is used to create the timer. This video will show you different ways to create timers.

Using Notebook Initialization Cells

Video Lesson | FREE

Initialization cells are cells that are evaluated by the Wolfram Language kernel immediately before the first evaluation performed after a notebook is opened. These can be useful for importing data or setting variables before running any other code. This video will show you different ways to create and use initialization cells. It will also discuss how to save notebooks as package files.

Using Notebooks Effectively

Video Lesson | FREE

This class introduces Wolfram Notebooks, structured documents that can include text, runnable code, dynamic graphics, user interfaces and more. The hierarchical structure of notebooks is explained, with discussion of cells, cell brackets, styling options, keyboard shortcuts and the Wolfram Predictive Interface that enables a streamlined workflow. Attributes of notebooks that aid in programming are presented, such as the ability to track the history of computation, support for rich data embedding and Iconize functionality. This class is suitable for beginners who are new to Mathematica and includes tips for notebook power users.

Wolfram Notebooks for Chemistry Research

Video Lesson | FREE

Learn about computational tools for analytical, biochemical, physical, organic and inorganic chemistry. This talk explains how to access curated chemical data, create molecule objects and visualize and compute with molecular structures.

Writing a Wolfram Language Function (Study Group Sessions)

Archived Event | FREE

Requirements: Some programming knowledge is recommended for this Study Group.

Learn what makes a good Wolfram Language function and how to create one on your own. We'll begin slow with standard function syntax and structure, then move on to arguments, patterns and options. We'll also cover topics like how to extend a function's capability with overloading, recursion and iteration, memoization and function upvalues. Later sessions will discuss error handling and extra tips. Some programming knowledge is recommended for this Study Group.
