Classroom Uses
 Mathematica is
used in thousands of high schools and secondary schools around the
world to help students learn math and science, pushing the limits of
traditional learning. Teachers and students benefit
from Mathematica's capabilities for graphs, animations, and
quick problem-solving, as well as for administering quizzes and
homework assignments.
Read below how several notable schools and organizations have
integrated Mathematica into their curricula, and find out
whether your school has a Mathematica
site license.

Art Inspires a Lesson in Calculus
Zagreb, Croatia
Croatian math and computer science teacher Maja Cvitkovic is not
content with the same old math lessons. So when the opportunity arose
to use Mathematica with a group of teenage students at a
workshop in Zagreb, she devised a lesson that gave them a chance to
play.
