Anyone with an interest in the potential impact of computing on science, engineering, finance, research, and education will benefit from these seminars. Those not yet familiar with Mathematica will gain an overview of the system and discover the breadth of applications it can address, while experts will get firsthand experience with the most important breakthroughs in Mathematica technology since Version 1 was released in 1988.

Mathematica is used in thousands of academic institutions, research labs, and companies around the world. It is deployed both as an interactive calculation tool and a programming language across fields as diverse as engineering, science, finance, and education. For details, see the Mathematica website.

Theodore Gray co-founded Wolfram Research with Stephen Wolfram in 1982. He is the principal creator of the Mathematica notebook user interface and the inventor of the dynamic interactivity system that underlies Mathematica 6. He has appeared on stage with Apple's Steve Jobs repeatedly to describe advances in Mathematica and the Macintosh, most recently discussing the Macintosh switch to Intel processors.

In addition to his work on Mathematica, Gray writes a monthly column on topics in science and chemistry for Popular Science magazine, the largest-circulation general-interest science magazine in the USA, and he is the creator of periodictable.com.

Benjamin Koo is an associate professor of Industrial Engineering at Tsinghua University and a consultant for the Engineering Education Reform Committee at UNESCO. An advocate for the CDIO Initiative--a Global Engineering Education Reform initiative originally started by MIT--he has developed numerous innovative programs for engineering education and evaluation. Gu has a PhD in systems engineering and master's degree in systems design, specializing in the theory and application of automatic design of engineering systems. Inspired by Stephen Wolfram's book A New Kind of Science, he developed Algebra of Systems (AoS), an executable systems modeling framework that uses an algebraic structure to synthesize and analyze systems. AoS provides theories and tools for interdisciplinary knowledge integration that have been used in many engineering projects for design automation and decision making.

Jiang Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow at the Complex Systems Research Center, AMSS, CAS. He obtained a PhD in management science and engineering from Beijing Jiaotong University in 2006. Zhang's work has been published in several academic journals and in 2006 he co-authored a book titled Digital Genesis: New Science of Artificial Life. Zhang is also the author of the Clustering Intelligence Club website to promote the study of complex systems theories in China. He has participated in the NKS Summer School and NKS Wolfram Science Conference sponsored by Wolfram Research, and has been a visiting researcher at the University of Michigan and the University of Vermont.

Wolfram Research is the world's leading developer of technical computing software, offering organization-wide computing solutions. Led by Mathematica, its flagship product, the company's software is relied on today by several million enthusiastic users around the world and has received many awards for technical excellence. A privately held company, Wolfram Research was founded in 1987 by Stephen Wolfram and is headquartered in the United States, with offices in Europe and Asia.
