Mathematica Tutorial
 --------------------
 Wolfgang Windsteiger


 In this course, we present the Computer Algebra System Mathematica 
 with an emphasis on its programming language. The features of the 
 system are investigated and we try to show how the potential of the 
 system can be used for modelling and solving mathematical problems 
 and for visualizing eventual results.

 In practice, it has often been observed that the real power of 
 Mathematica can only be exploited if the user is able to use the 
 system's programming language in order to adapt available algorithms 
 to one's personal needs in a certain context. Therefore, after introducing 
 basic system features, we will concentrate on the following aspects of 
 Mathematica as a programming environment:

 - Datastructures in Mathematica
 - Pattern-matching
 - Recursive and procedural programming
 - Rule-based programming
 - Graphics
 - Communication with other programs: MathLink
 - GUI programming: Active elements, notebooks, buttons, palettes, etc.
 - etc. etc.
