Course Description

This course is focused on Mathematica the software package. We will learn the fundamentals of the Wolfram Language and explore some niche features. We will produce 3D graphics, animations, audio, do image processing and more. We will do collaborative final projects: some topic ideas are computer vision preprocessing, sports betting programs, and car parking geometry visualization.

It is recommended to bring a laptop to class with Mathematica installed. A free copy may be obtained at https://software.ucsb.edu/info/mathematica/student. For students without laptops, there are school computers with version 11.3 installed so that they may practice outside of class.

This is a student-led colloquium led by Adam Mendenhall, under the supervision of Murat Karaorman.
