This page is under construction. The 2005 page admirably constructed by professor Wood is being assimilated Borg fashion by the 2006 team. Discontinuities will be gradually smoothed out.

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.
