Useful Mathematica Notebooks
Note: If you choose to use these Mathematica Notebooks as templates for a solution you turn in, please observe the following rules:
- Remove existing comments and section headings and replace them with your own. Be sure to put in a written explanation of what you are doing!
- Make sure that your Notebook runs correctly if saved and re-run from scratch with Mathematica. (New users often generate Notebooks consisting of a random sequence of attempts to simplify expressions, with non-reproducible results because competing variable definitions were used at different times.)
- If you turn in a printout, make sure it is printed `2up', i.e., with two logical Notebook pages per physical sheet. This is easy enough to read without wasting paper.
