Mathematica 10 Essential Training teaches information workers how to analyze data using the Mathematica 10 environment and language. After completing the course, members will be able to set up Mathematica notebooks, import data, use operators to perform simple calculations, create and manipulate lists, perform matrix calculations, analyze data using descriptive statistics, and write and debug Mathematica scripts. Author Curt Frye also shows how to visualize data with charts, convert files into the Computable Document Format, and add animation to make your results more interactive.
