Maths with Mathematica



Mathematica notebooks and how they work

Mathematica itself :

  • Numerical calculations
  • Algebraic calculations
  • Graphics
  • Programming in Mathematica



A guided example can be found below. It is a Mathematica Notebook written by R. G. Palmer (Physics Department, Duke University) for use in a course he taught.

Usage of Mathematica

  • Typing "Mathematica" you'll get the full notebook discussed above.
    Remember: To do so, you have to make sure to have a graphics connection.
    This is done by "xhost +foreign computer" on "your screen" and by
    "export DISPLAY=own computer.0.0" on the foreign computer.
  • Type "math" will give you a no-graphics form of Mathematica. I actually prefer to work that way:
    • Opening a file with expression to be evaluated in emacs.
    • Evaluating it via "cut and paste" in the "math"-window.
