Background
Stan Wagon, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Macalester
College, is one of the foremost
users of Mathematica in education, having written many papers
and books, including Animating Calculus: Mathematica Notebooks for
the Laboratory, Mathematica in Action
(now in four languages), and VisualDSolve: Visualizing Differential
Equations
with Mathematica (many of which are now available in the Wolfram Research Online
Bookstore).
Stan has taught many Mathematica courses and in July teaches
a course with Ed Packel called
"Rocky Mountain
Mathematica"
in the mountains of Colorado. A typical
testimonial is: "The course proved an excellent source of practical
information
about how to make more effective use of Mathematica's
capabilities.
I have the feeling I'll be consulting the class notes and materials for
a long
time to come" (Dan Callon, Franklin College, Indiana).
Consulting Information
Stan Wagon has used Mathematica since 1989 and has been a Mathematica
consultant since 1991.
