I've taken a Mathematica based course myself. It was 100% Mathematica, i.e. everything from HW's to exams was done using notebooks. I had the feeling I was the only student in the class who even knew that Mathematica existed before the class started. Many students did not even know how to type a command in the notebook when the course started, and many other basic things. So the first 2 weeks were are introduction to Mathematica. It was a great course, and everyone seems at the end to have learned many things. Did not see any one drop out or scream or anything. It was a fun course actually even thought it was very hard work, because we used Mathematica as a tool to learn physics. It was a physics course at UCI. The teacher Dr Peter Taborek, is an expert in Mathematica as well as being a Physics professor,and had his own book and software based on Mathematica which we used. http://alturl.com/qtq45 --Nasser >So to make it > successful, about five more enthusiastic assistant lecturer should start > Saturday classes in those high schools right away, which feed into > Warsaw University. > > J=E1nos >
