Class Notes

CLASS NOTES
  • Mathematica nbis a Mathematica(R) Notebook (.nb) file. Right click to download and save. Do not try to open in a web browser. Run with Mathematica.
  • This is the UH Mathematica page: https://uh.edu/mathematica/
  • Wolfram cdf is a Mathematica CDF module that can be run with a free CDF player. It can also be embedded and run within your web browser (if supported by Wolfram). If it doesn't open or appears to freeze, download the .cdf module, and run with your installed CDF player.
  • You can still run cdf module in Internet Explorer that allows ActiveX. You can download IE plug-in for ActiveX for other browsers such as firefox, opera, chrome. However, the full functionality of the apps may not be available.
  • Down load these style sheets: 1: , 2: ,  3:
    • For Windows, first, delete old stylesheet of the same name ECE2100, ECE3340, ECE3340_1 if exists, then put the downloaded files above into folder:
      ProgramData\Mathematica\SytemFiles\FrontEnd\StyleSheets

      For Mac OS:
      ~/Library/Mathematica/SytemFiles/FrontEnd/StyleSheets
