Wolfram and Mathematica

Mathematica is a powerful math and scientific calculator.  I remember when this program came out in 1988.  It has always been a powerful computational engine.  At first, it was difficult to use, but as it developed, it has become easier to use.  Wolfram, the developers of Mathematica, have launched WolframAlpha, a computational search engine.  Mathematica is at the heart of WolframAlpha.  Now, anyone can enter any problem in a form they are used to, to process in Mathematica.  Users can download a free Mathematica player to view and change variables.  It is truly amazing.  What is also amazing, is that the full blown Mathematica is available to schools for only $50.

Our Math Club will explore what can be done with Mathematica through the use of video tutorials and downloaded examples.  Currently there are over 5,000 projects available for download.

Now anyone can be a math genius.

Math Club

Ms Narvinder and Mr Richard will run a Math Club for NIS high school students.  The Math Club meets on Wednesdays 2:45 — 3:30 in the computer lab in the new high school building.

Purpose: To improve math skills, enhance abaility and prepare for further study

• use technology to advance in mathematics
• tutorials to help
• exercises for practice
• step-by-step solutions for any equation
• from simple math to advanced
