Details about these will be posted when I know more about them. During the semester, certain homework problems will require the use of a computer math program. These can be worked on during the normal computer lab time. Mathematica is an extremly flexible program, the only limitation to it is your own imagination. All they can do is add things, they just do it really fast.
Computers never make mistakes.
A ' mistake ' is what happens when the computer gives you something you didn't expect. It's always easier to blame the machine than ourselves. Never trust the results of a computer, especially if the answer doesn't make sense. Never, never, never turn off one of the computers in the lab. Also, please remember that the lab is a giant network.
