ABSTRACT

This talk will illustrate capabilities in Mathematica 7 that are directly applicable for use in teaching and research on campus. Topics of this technical talk include:

* 2D and 3D visualization
* Dynamic interactivity
* On-demand scientific data
* Example-driven course materials
* Symbolic interface construction
* Practical and theoretical applications
* Demonstrations of Digital Image Processing and Parallelization

Current users will benefit from seeing the many improvements and new features of Mathematica 7 (http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/newin7), but prior knowledge of Mathematica is not required.
