Seminar presented by Neil Andrews from Wolfram, the makers of Mathematica. This will be an introduction to the software and hands-on help. Concordia University has purchased a site license. All faculty and students can download and activate the software for free, but it may be especially helpful for those in the math or sciences areas.

Downloading and installing Mathematica is easy through the Wolfram user portal (https://user.wolfram.com/portal/login.html).  You need to create a Wolfram account.  You can then download Mathematica and request an activation key.  Anyone with a @cuw.edu or @cuaa.edu email should have no trouble obtaining an activation key.

Here is a link to a 6 minute overview of Mathematica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0QPUemRnPU

The session will be recording for those who cannot attend.

Due to the high utilization of Panopto, academic recordings will need to be archived after three semesters. Folders that are four semesters or older will be deleted from the Panopto server after each semester.  An example is a folder with a term code of 201410 (Fall 2013) will be removed from Panopto at the start of the 201610 (Fall 2015) term. There are many folders that are unlabeled, these will be removed as well if they are more than four semesters old.

If your current classes require videos from older terms it will be the responsibility of the folder owner to move the recordings from those folder slated for deletion. If you share a folder with another faculty member, please work together to keep only recordings you need. Instructions for moving videos to a recent folder can be found here.

If you have any questions about videos falling under the policy stated above, please feel free to email Rob Erbes at robert.erbes@cuw.edu.

If you are having trouble, and you cannot reconnect as described below, call the AV number 262-243-4370.
