The objective of this subject is to introduce to students basic use of this program. Students will know basic commands and commands useful for solving physical problems. They will be also able to create 2D and 3D plots and interactive change of the task’s solution for various parameters with Manipulate command. Also get acquainted with Wolfram|Alpha, and other products related to the software Mathematica and generally with Computer Algebra Systems.
