The Mathematica site license at IIT is a great resource that begs to be fully tapped, and the IIT Mathematica User Group (IITMUG) is a step in that direction.  We hope the spirit of IITMUG will be similar to the legendary home-brew computer club, with a lot of informal code-sharing, networking, cooperative learning, amazing demonstrations, and fun.  Both novices and experienced Mathematica folks, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend.

A preliminary (zeroth) meeting of IITMUG was held at the Wolfram Technology Conference in Champaign several weeks ago. The math club students who were present expressed a strong interest and enthusiasm, and we also hope for much broader participation of other people and backgrounds on campus.

The first IITMUG meeting at IIT will be held from 12:45 – 1:45  pm on Thursday, November 15  in E1 106.

The purpose of this particular meeting will be to discuss IITMUG activities, special topics of interest, future meeting formats, locations, and time(s).   And probably a little show and tell of interesting Mathematica code.

If you plan to attend this meeting, please email bunker@iit.edu with subject line “RSVP IITMUG” so we can make sure the room capacity is sufficient.
