Synopsis:

Students will be working with modern technical and scientific software. Students will learn how to use different programming styles (functional programming, rule-based programming, etc.), how to create dynamic interactive applications and visualisations, data processing and presentations.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of algorithmization (cycles, conditions, etc.) and data structures (mainly arrays).

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction

2. Syntax, function definition, working with expressions

3. Graphics, visualisation of functions, data sets, structures, etc.

Study Objective:

Wolfram Mathematica is a modern technical and scientific software which has been developed over last 20 years. This system has been used at many prestigious universities and scientific institutions (e.g. CERN, NASA, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, ...). It represents now the complete integrated environment for publication, presentation, computations, dynamic interactive applications, etc. Mathematica is very powerful programming language combining different programming styles (functional, rule-based, etc.). In this course the students will be introduced into the Mathematica system and they will learn how to work with different programming styles in this system. After the course the student will be able to create complete interactive documentats and presentations, process different data files, create own libraries, etc.
