|
| Q: |
What are the differences between
mini-courses and other Wolfram Education Group courses? |
| |
Mini-courses are short courses (3-4 hours in length)
designed to cover special topics of interest to Mathematica users. They
are written and taught by senior Mathematica developers, and provide
insight into emerging features and technologies within Mathematica.
Mini-courses are inexpensive, practical, and are offered mostly online,
providing greater flexibility for the student's schedule.
Wolfram Education Group one- and two-day courses offer
complete training experiences, covering a broader set of topics within a
particular area; they provide a foundation on which to develop your
Mathematica skills. Small class sizes and personal direction from
certified instructors enhance the training experience in our full-day
courses.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
How do online classes work? |
| |
The certified instructor leads the class using web-based technology to
present the course materials. Participants join the class from their
computers and by phone teleconference. See the online training information to learn more
about online classes.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
What is included with the course? |
| |
Each student will be provided with a set of course notes in electronic
form, and students in classroom facilities will also receive print
copies of the course notes. The electronic version of the course
requires Mathematica to install and run. A computer running the
current version of Mathematica is provided for student use in
classroom facilities, and a 30-day training version
of Mathematica is available to students in online classes.
Each student will receive a certificate of course completion.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
What do I need to bring to class? |
| |
For students at computer classroom facilities, all course materials
are provided, including a computer running
Mathematica for student use during class. Students are
responsible for their own meals and lodging, and photo IDs are
required at some locations. For instructions for online class
students, please see the online training
information.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
What topics are included in my class? |
| |
For the course syllabus and prerequisites for each class, see the
course descriptions.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
What times are the classes offered? |
| |
Classes held at classroom facilities run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (local
time). Online class times vary. Please see the
training calendar for a listing of classes
and the dates and times the classes are offered.

|
| Q: |
How can my organization register several people for training? |
| |
You can submit individual registrations from the training calendar, or
our Customer Service department can assist you with multiple
registrations. In the U.S. or Canada, please call 1-800-WOLFRAM
(965-3726). In other locations, please email your request to
education@wolfram.com.
Organizations that register several people should consider joining
the Education Benefits Program. This program
provides onsite training discounts and enrollment credits for
center-based classes. The Benefits Program allows organizations to
apply for credit terms so that attendees can register without having
to supply fees out of pocket.
