Computational Chemistry with Wolfram: From Learning to Research

Modern chemistry depends on computation at nearly every stage of the scientific process. Chemists begin by representing molecular structures, then analyze chemical data, investigate molecular behavior and visualize the results of their work. Those tasks require computational tools that support scientific workflows rather than isolated calculations. Today, computation is as fundamental to chemistry as the laboratory itself.

A Modern eTextbook on Laplace Transforms for Engineering, Science and More

The Laplace transform is such an effective tool for solving problems in the fields of science and engineering—it’s one of the main tools available for solving both ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). I’m excited to announce that the notebook version of Laplace Transforms in Theory and Practice: A Computational Approach by Hrachya Khachatryan is now available as a free download from Wolfram Media for all the world to learn this beautiful subject.

Learning Decision Process Theory with a Wolfram Language Toolkit

In our daily lives, individuals, corporations and societies are constantly involved in making decisions. We hope to make optimal choices, especially when faced with recurrent decision processes. Thus we care about why and how our decision processes change over time. As a practicing engineer and an instructor in higher education, it is my opinion that a course on how optimal decisions are made and change should be part of a standard curriculum for a wide range of fields, including engineering, business, economics, project management and social sciences.

Four Ways to Use Wolfram Notebook Assistant This Semester

If you’ve just been handed a syllabus with “Wolfram” or “Mathematica” listed in your materials this semester, it may feel a little daunting to learn a new language and environment. But have no fear! Whether you’re solving integrals, running simulations or just trying to finish your assignment before midnight, Wolfram Notebook Assistant is built for your success. Designed to help you focus on ideas instead of syntax, it’s like having a built-in tutor, editor and coding partner—all in one.

Diving into the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program

As the Precollege Educational Programs Manager at Wolfram, I have the privilege of working with hundreds of bright, passionate students from middle school to college. In this post, we’ll be exploring the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program, Wolfram’s flagship program for younger students. I’ve been the Program Director since 2019, and it’s been a joy to expand and extend the Wolfram education ecosystem over that time. We have worked hard to create enrichment programs for talented students, and we now have a rich ecosystem of opportunities for students of all ages.

Wolfram Middle School Summer Camp: A Virtual Learning Experience

This summer marks the fifth annual Wolfram Middle School Summer Camp. Students at the camp learn the basics of Wolfram Language and make connections with other young STEM enthusiasts from around the world. Our goal with this fully virtual camp is to offer an on-ramp into other Wolfram programs for girls and gender non-conforming students with diverse academic backgrounds.
