If you've taken C&M or NetMath courses before and would be interested in working with us, please apply. We are currently looking for Class Assistants for the Spring and Summer of 2013.
Obtaining Mathematica
Mathematica for students through CITES is now available. It can be obtained here. The cost is $25 without media (45 MB download) or $30 with the CD. It expires on 8/25/12 at which time it needs to be renewed. It will be renewed most likely at $25 again and will last until the following August or September.
Comments from Students
I am currently a 2nd year Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota in Geology and want to report the advantages that C&M DiffEq has given me. It turns out that describing the mathematics of deformation in rocks is simply the flow section of C&M Diffeq expanded to 3-D. If you can find the strain matrix of the rocks (matrix of the diffeq in C&M), you can get flow paths and watch how the rock deforms. Another one of my advisor's students had been working on this before I came and has developed the theory behind relating these flow paths to rock deformation. It was considered quite neat that I had actually learned how to do this as an undergrad in C&M. I am using the C&M DiffEq lessons to teach new geology grad students the mathematics behind our work.
