Mathematica Course Material
===========================

For using the notebooks in this directory, you will
need a copy of Mathematica. Version 3.0 should be
sufficient, but 4.1 is recommended because of performance
issues.

Also highly recommended is OpenGL Explorer, an AddOn
to Mathematica which is, alas, not anymore available.

Installation.

For Linux and related platforms, 
copy this folder into your home directory. Make sure it is called Own.
Otherwise, you will need to change path names.

For Macs, 
copy the Own folder into the Mathematica x.x Files:AddOns:StandardPackages:
folder. You can move the Lecture x subfolders wherever you want.

Other Platforms:
I honestly don't know, but I'm afraid it will be similar to one of the above. 

Important:

If you DO NOT have the OpenGL Explorer installed, you MUST rename Mesh.m into 
Mesh1.m and Mesh0.m into Mesh.m.


Yes, I am working on a documentation for Mesh.m. 

The crippled package version has not been thoroughly tested. We are hoping for
Mathematica 5...
There are a few known problems which would take me too long to correct:
i) I use options of GLShow which are not available for Show, 
  namely LockLights  and Oversampling. Go ahead and delete them.
ii) Several graphics directives don't work. Delete also when encountered.
iii) Animations don't work.

Now, try the notebooks. In most cases, executing all cells should produce
some nice images.


Good luck
