Mathematica SIG (http://www.pmsi-va.com/mathsig) MEETING 24 August 2012, 7:30-9:00am DeVry University Crystal City Campus, 2450 Crystal Dr (3rd Floor room TBD; check with desk officer at the top of the stairs) Arlington VA 22202 DeVry students and faculty can freely attend our meetings. We value such attendance and thank DeVry for this courtesy to the community. Jennifer Cadman, Director of Community Outreach at DeVry University is our Point of Contact. Agenda Scheduled Speakers Short Comments on Mathematics from a New Member, by Jonathan Covington. Abstract. To be announced. Image Processing from a live Webcam using Mathematica, by Nicholas Mecholsky. Abstract. We'll see an application of Mathematica's ImageConvolve that allowed a continuous logging of the water level in a meter that was monitored from a webcam. Using only the web address of the webcam and Mathematica's powerful built-in image processing, we can see how one might build a quick application that has real value. Applications and Uses of CellChangeTimes[] - II, by Dave Vasholz. Abstract. We'll continue to discuss various interesting implementations and applications of this useful function. 2. Mathematica Gems and Discoveries Sharing of Mathematica programming oddities Applications of Mathematica to some areas of science Something recently read and worth sharing 3. Mathematica Questions, Possible Approaches and Discussion 4. New Business Possible discussion on a hard copy of the Mission Statement and discussion on the meeting framework Directions. http://www.devry.edu/locations/campuses/loc_arlingtoncampus.jsp.
