Learning unit contents
This course is an introduction to formal mathematical softwares. With Mathematica et Sympy, we will cover the following uses : calculator, formal calculus, solving equations, finding the roots of a function, derivation, integration, differential equations, series, linear algebra, plotting skills. We will also make an introduction to programming (variables, expressions, affectation, functions, conditions, iterations, characters chains, lists, dictionnaries) with the Mathematica language and python. The course also contains a brief introduction to Geogebra and Calc.
