Mathematica 6.0

The School of Mathematical Sciences (Pusat Pengajian Sains Maktematik, PPSM) was established in May 1974 in USM. Currently the School has 43 strong of academic staffs with various research interests. There are over 700 undergraduate and nearly 300 postgraduate students. The School has seen a rapid development and made many significant advances pertaining to academic programs, research and development. Notably, the school has been a strong & active user of Mathematica since the earlier versions.

Coordinated by Dr. Yahya Abu Hasan (BSc, MSc,PhD London) from PPSM, and organized by Mr. Mohamad Faisal Abd Karim (B.Sc. Spec. Maths (Hull), M.Sc. (East Anglia)) from PPPJJ (Pusat Pengajian Pendidikan Jarak Jauh), OPTIMAL Expert had helped conduct an one-day Mathematica V6 & webMathematica on 30 April 08 . The workshop attracted a class full of lecturers, researchers & post graduate students primarily with the background of physics & mathematics.

Though a number of them had prior experience using older versions of Mathematica before, they were impressed with the latest power of this symbolic computation package, as well as the deployment flexibility of webMathematica. Overwhelmed by many encouraging feedbacks, OPTIMAL Expert opts to arrange more hand-on sessions at USM to switch on the full throttle of Mathematica V6!
