New course – Introduction to Mathematica!

We have just announced a new course – Introduction to Mathematica, which is available now for booking to all research staff and PGRs. Remember that all our courses are free to University of Manchester staff and PGRs!


Mathematica is a powerful technical computing platform which allows users to perform data analysis, text and language processing, geographic data visualization and more. In addition Mathematica also provides neural networks, machine learning possibilities and audio, image and signal processing capabilities.

The course is a gentle introduction to the wide ranging capabilities of this software and will cover in particular:

  • Interface overview.
  • Syntax structure
  • Data generation/manipulation (string and numerical data).
  • Data visualization (charts)
  • 2D and 3D graphics (plot, figure)
  • Define functions
  • Scripts and packages.
  • Help and resources

The first course will take place on the 6th of November with a further course planned for 29th of January. To register for the course please visit the Training Catalogue. If you would like more information on the course and it's contents please contact us.
