What you’ll learn
-
Visualize Mathematical Functions and Data
-
Solve Problems using Functional Programming and Procedural Programming Techniques
In this course, we’re going to teach you how to use the powerful graphics and animation tools available in Mathematica for prototyping ideas and visualizing data.
While Mathematica has many built in functions for doing really amazing things, we feel that a good understanding of how to code frees you to be able to make just about anything. And so our focus in this course is programming using the Wolfram Language. To get you started off quickly, we will jump right in with plotting and animating, data and mathematical functions. After that, we will get into the nitty gritty details of programming with the Wolfram Language.
In each lecture, we will introduce new concepts, and demonstrate use cases with interesting examples. You can download the lecture notebook and follow along with us, as the best way to learn to program is to get as much practice as possible. Each lecture is also accompanied by an exercise notebook. These notebooks provide a bunch of problems for you to work on and will really help to internalize the new material. You will get the most out of this course if you do all of the exercises.
Periodically, we’ll have projects for you to work on. These project are often challenging and will test your ingenuity, but will also teach you how to program and solve real problems with Mathematica. Our projects include:
- Programming and visualizing the oscillations of a simple pendulum
- The evolution of cellular automata
- Sierpinski’s carpet
- Simple simulation of an evolution model
We feel that this course will best serve college level students, graduate students, and maybe even professors, since Mathematica is great for producing publication quality graphics. However, even if you are not an academic, you will benefit from taking this course.
We look forward to teaching this course and we hope you enjoy it. See you at the next lecture!
Who this course is for:
- College level students in engineering

Marcel Tenório Bezerra –
This course is solid! It does not requires some experience with any programming skills, indeed. I only miss one chapter about Matrix operations and other about mathematical functions (Solve, NDSolve, Minimize, and so on), even though the lectures and, especially, the exercises encourages us to use better the Wolfram Documentation Center. That is the “half star” miss for me.
Ron Johnson –
Great overview of programming with Mathematica. Learned a lot
Simon Albright –
Lots of good detail, but the structure could be a lot better. Too much emphasis on using high level functions and not enough on how to use the code in a practical way.
Tom Storey –
The concise lectures are adequate preparation for the challenging exercises but, unless you are paying very close attention, they much be watched a couple of times. Very well done!
Christopher Hills –
Good reminder of the basics
Mariam Dalgamouni –
Great introductory course
Shiloh-Sheray Gagnon –
This makes up for everything my university professor doesn’t share and just expects me to already know. Totally saving my university experience.
Dr. Rafael Moreno Esparza –
Easy to understand, good implementation
Mauro Huerta Leal –
Hasta ahora todo ha sido bastante bueno, me ha dado buenos tips. Espero con ansias la parte más avanzada.
Aliaksandr Halouchyk –
Отличный вводный курс
shanyn-dee hart –
Great explanations
Jesús David Pech Santos –
Fue un curso bastante completo y se centró en conocer los fundamentos de WolframLanguage. Las explicaciones fueron muy claras, fluidas y dinámicas. Como sugerencia, estaría mejor implementar más ejemplos tipo proyecto para consolidad los conocimientos y también estaría bien anexarle ejemplos de análisis de datos a través de llamar a WolframAlpha desde la Notebook.
