Mathematica... it's not just for math! :)

We have a site license for Mathematica here at Coppin... not only is it installed on the computers on campus, but faculty staff and students can get a copy to install on their home computer.

To learn more about Mathematica @ Coppin, check out our webpage: http://www.coppin.edu/mathematica/

If you have an on-campus computer and would like to get Mathematica installed, contact the HelpDesk at x 3888.

To request a copy for your computer at home that you own:

Mathematica offers free seminars weekly to show you how to use it: http://www.wolfram.com/services/education/seminars/

Just for fun: Mathematica can play music! http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=C+E+G+Bb+D+F%23+A

Learn PowerPoint online...

Microsoft has created many online tutorials and videos to help you get up to speed with the Office 2007 suite. If you are looking to get started with PowerPoint 2007 to create presentations, you can check out their recorded tutorials here:
- Roadmap to PowerPoint

They helpfully provide tutorials to help all of us... those of us new to PowerPoint, who are creating a first presentation... to those who are familiar with PowerPoint 2003 and are looking to learn what is new in 2007.
