Mathematica Essentials: Intro & Overview (Wolfram Language)

Do you think Mathematica is only for Math? Mathematica can be used in ANY computational field, including math, science, finance, data visualization, bioinformatics, speech recognition, machine learning...you name it! Mathematica started as a system for doing mathematics by computer, but it evolved into the WOLFRAM LANGUAGE, which can be used for all kinds of computation. This is the FIRST episode of our new course on Mathematica. Be sure to sign up for our course email group (infrequent but excellent updates and messages): https://www.socratica.com/email-groups/mathematica-essentials In future lessons, we will explore many of the applications to scientific fields. We will also cover the essential mathematical applications: solving equations, numerical methods, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, modular arithmetic, and much more. While doing so, we will cover the essential features of the Wolfram Language, the language that lies at the heart of Mathematica, Wolfram | One, and other products from Wolfram. ✷ SPECIAL OFFER for our Socratica Friends: ✷ 15% off Mathematica Annual Edition and Wolfram|One Yearly Subscription ✷ Use discount code Socratica2021 at https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica This video is an overview - a tour of some of its capabilities, to give you a feel for the incredible power of this tool. You may be surprised by Mathematica’s flexibility and precision. No prior programming experience is needed! Perfect for beginners. Symbolic calculation is at the heart of Mathematica, and this video will help you start to feel comfortable with this kind of work. We will introduce just a handful of built-in functions, to illustrate how many diverse applications you can expect to find. We will also touch on the Wolfram Knowledgebase and the Wolfram Language. Keep in mind, this is just a quick tour - many more detailed lessons to come! ✷✷✷ MATHEMATICA ESSENTIALS by Socratica Episode 1: Intro to Mathematica You can jump to sections in the video here: 0:00 What is Mathematica 0:37 Start with a notebook (input/output) 0:56 Numerical Calculations 1:44 Algebra (solving equations) 3:05 Calculus (definite & indefinite integrals) 4:39 Science in Mathematica (Wolfram Knowledgebase) 5:25 Computing with Entities (objects), entity properties 6:01 Using Autocomplete 6:38 More about Wolfram Knowledgebase 6:55 Audio, Images, & Video 8:38 More about Wolfram Language ✷✷✷ Some of the Mathematica functions introduced in this video: Solve Plot Integrate MoleculePlot MoleculePlot3D EntityList EntityProperties Import AudioPlot AudioLength AudioSampleRate ✷✷✷ We recommend the following (affiliate links): The Mythical Man Month - Essays on Software Engineering & Project Management http://amzn.to/2tYdNeP Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences http://amzn.to/2ri1nf7 Mindset by Carol Dweck https://amzn.to/2q9y8Nj How to Be a Great Student (our first book!) ebook: https://amzn.to/2Lh3XSP Paperback: https://amzn.to/3t5jeH3 Kindle Unlimited: https://amzn.to/3atr8TJ ✷✷✷ If you find our work at Socratica valuable, please consider becoming our Patron on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/socratica If you would prefer to make a one-time donation, you can also use Socratica Paypal https://www.paypal.me/socratica We also accept Bitcoin!

A self-taught programmer, Michael taught both Math and Computer Programming at the college level. He applied this knowledge as a financial analyst (quant) and as a programmer at Google. Kimberly earned her BS in Biology and another BS in English at Caltech. She did her graduate work in Molecular Biology at Princeton, specializing in Immunology and Neurobiology. Kimberly spent 16+ years as a research scientist and a dozen years as a biology and chemistry instructor. Michael and Kimberly Harrison co-founded Socratica. Their mission? To create the education of the future. ✷✷✷ Welcome to Socratica! We make SMART videos focusing on STEM - science, math, programming.
