Objectives of the Course	Making students familiar with the basics of the components of MMA by working on Notebooks, FrontEnd, Kernel, Documentation Center, Online Sources. Guiding students to master the design principles that Wolfram Language based on by explaining these principles and providing various examples in detail. Helping students be able to do programming efficiently in MMA by letting them to work on exercises of various levels and on projects related to their own research.
Course Content	This course will introduce the design principles that Wolfram Language based on. Mathematica (MMA) combines the procedural, functional, and rule-based programming styles in a single coherent system. Each of these programing styles will be covered in detail in this course. Properties of Mathematica notebooks, FrontEnd, Kernel and Documentation Center, basics of symbolic and numeric computations, an overview of built-in functions in MMA including the ones for fundamental mathematical procedures from Calculus and Linear Algebra are covered. To develop and analyze code in MMA the course covers the following subjects: Expressions and their manipulations, assignments and evaluation, pattern matching, repetitive and iterative processes, lexical and dynamic scopings, data types and building packages.
