We will start by introducing basic data structures and programming elements. A brief introduction to the UNIX environment will be included here. Then we will work our way up to higher-level programming structures and discuss their use in mathematics and mathematical applications. Additionally, we will discuss selected features from the symbolic toolbox. The class meetings will typically be devided into a lecture followed by supervised lab work.
Active participation is vital to learning the material.
