Abstract:
Mathematica is the Swiss Army knife of computational programs; it provides rich and easy-to-use facilities for symbolic computation, numerics and visualization. By integrating all three in a single general purpose programming language, it enables faster prototyping and greater knowledge reuse. After a quick showcase of awesome stuff made using a few lines of Mathematica, we will discuss the basics of using Mathematica and how it can help improve your workflow. We will also briefly discuss functional programming in this context.
Varun has also prepared some excellent materials for you to wield in getting started!
