Users may find additional or updated materials at Professor Carter's 3.016 course Web site.
Each lecture session uses lecture notes and Mathematica® examples. The Mathematica® examples are provided in two formats: Mathematica® notebook files (.nb) and MathML files.
Style Sheet for 3.016 Mathematica® Notebooks: (NB).
The style sheet defines the presentation of this course's .nb files, and should be downloaded to a local directory before opening other .nb files.
