For years, I’ve been hearing about the
NKS Summer School, and about how productive people find the three weeks of “immersion” there. For quite a while, people around Wolfram Research have been asking, “Why can’t we do something similar for Mathematica?”
Well, now we are. This year, we’re offering a two-week
Advanced Mathematica Summer School.
Partly, it’s going to provide an opportunity for people to learn about all those parts of today’s Mathematica technology that they haven’t had a chance to work with yet. But the most important objective of the Summer School is to help people take their projects and implement them in incredible ways with Mathematica.
It’s going to be an intense experience. We’re expecting that during the two weeks of the Summer School, every attendee will be able to use the latest Mathematica technologies to create a final product of some kind---that they and their colleagues, students or customers will be able to use for a long time to come.
We’re planning a mix of attendees, with varying profiles---senior technologists, researchers, programmers, educators, students and perhaps others we don’t expect.
