Software for Mathematical Scientists and Educators

_{A Barth sextic visualized with SURFER.}

The goal is to build a foundation by using some of the most ubiquitous software in the field. This will help students throughout their career in and out of university.

We will cover four topics in this module:

1. Mathematical Typesettings and LaTeX,
2. Python and Jupyter Notebooks,
3. Introduction to Programming,
4. Symbolic Computation and SageMath.

Important Module Information:
