Mathematica Tutorials

The first two tutorials are excellent for new users, and can be assigned to students as homework to learn Mathematica outside of class time.

• Hands-on Start to Mathematica
  Follow along in Mathematica as you watch this multi-part screencast that teaches you the basics—how to create your first notebook, calculations, visualizations, interactive examples, and more.
• What's New in Mathematica 9
  Provides examples to help you get started with new functionality in Mathematica 9, including the predictive interface.
• How To Topics
  Access step-by-step instructions ranging from how to create animations to basic syntax information.
• Learning Center
  Search Wolfram's large collection of materials for example calculations or tutorials in your field of interest.

Teaching with Mathematica

Mathematica offers an interactive classroom experience that helps students explore and grasp concepts, plus gives faculty the tools they need to easily create supporting course materials, assignments, and presentations.

Resources for educators
