M100: An Introduction To Mathematica

[Paul Abbott]

In case anyone is interested, and at the risk of self-promotion, I am
presenting

M100: An Introduction To Mathematica

in Singapore on June 7. See

http://www.wolfram.com/services/education/calendar.cgi

Also, I'm passing through Hong Kong from Wed June 28, departing on July
2, on my way back to Australia. I would love to catch up with
Mathematica users in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Cheers,
Paul

Since I don't have corporate backing, could you tell me of an affordable
alternative to these expensive seminars?

If you go to

http://www.wolfram.com/services/education/

you will see that,

As of April 12, 2006, Wolfram Education Group offers free, live,
online seminars to all Mathematica customers worldwide.

Taught by experienced Wolfram Research staff, these presentations are
given twice weekly. Users can sign up for a seminar through the
calendar.

The seminar series begins with S10: A Technical Overview of
Mathematica.

The first free seminar with places available is on Jun 14.

Also, depending on where you are located, your local Mathematica
reseller may provide other training options.

Paul,

Since its free to mathematica customers, shouldn't it be possible to tape
it and host it on something like google video?

I know they have a pay-per-view type of service, but I don't know if they
have a password-protected service. I'm thinking something on the order
of:

a) users calling mathematica with your key/receipt/proof-of-purchase
b) getting a password for downloading these videos via google video.

That way, it would be a lot more convenient/informative for those of
us who would like to attend one of these seminars but for whatever
reason cannot. Its not quite equivalent to being there, but its
an acceptable alternative.

Well I don't get to reply very often. ;-)
Try first stydying all relavent portions of The Mathematica Book.

Then look over two free notebook that I have posted on MathSource.
goto http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/4557/

They should also be a useful reference for you.
You can't beat it for the price.

You might also find some other books that you like, but I am not sure which
to recommend.

Ted Ersek
