The UnTutorial

A few examples of how to do all sorts of different things that show up in community college math courses


If you are looking for a tutorial on how to use Mathematica, you'll have to wait until I have more time (and get motivated).  However, in the meantime, here are a set of quick examples showing you which commands to use to draw which types of graph and how to do other things you might want to do in an upper level community college math course. I will expand this as I have time and think of things that need to be added.  (Right now, this is mostly graphs, but I expect to add some material on integration, vectors, and coordinate systems over the course of the semester.  I expect a section on differential equations and matrices will show up this summer sometime...)
