Special Training Opportunities
In conjunction with the International Mathematica User
Conference 2008, we are offering attendees unique training
opportunities at a substantial discount.
Wolfram Education Group is offering
several of its most popular and newer courses. All are available
either before or directly after the main program, so you don't have to
miss any of the conference in order to attend the training classes.
