The first thing I would like you all to do is download Mathematica Player to your computer. I have provided a link below for instructions on how to do it. This product is a free download which we will use in our class to explore various kinds of Mathematical Art.
click on Mathermatica Player
You can read what Mathematica Player is all about and then click on the red (download now) bottom. You will be asked for some information, asked to select your computer platform (windows or MAC or Linux), then a simple math problem, then press download.
You will see the license agreement which you need to agree.
Your computer may warn you about downloading this product. It is safe so go ahead.
Now it will take a few minutes to download Mathematica player 7.
You may need to double click on the downloaded icon to install the software.
On a Mac you drag the Mathematica Player icon to the applications folder to install it.
Clicking on the program icon brings up the player.
You can stop here or go exploring on your own. This is where we will begin in class.
Let me know of any problems by posting a comment to this blog. When I say blog think class discussion since that is what it is.
I will personally come to your home if you fail to get Mathematica Player up and running after a few tries. Post a comment if you have a problem.
