We will be using Mathematica 9.0 for this course. Good News! The UMass Lowell Mathematica site license now covers students. Click here to get instructions on how to download a copy to your own computer.
Textbook: A lot of the course is based on notes but we will use the following books (all open source and free as pdf's) as references and partially as texts:
You may need Excel a few times in this course.
Work for this course will consist of problem sets to be turned in mostly as Mathematica Notebooks. Grades will be based on your work on these problems sets together with a small participation component. Depending on whether the software can be set up, there may be a few online quizzes that would also count for a small part of the grade.
Here are some papers we might use this semester
