Thousands of universities around the world take advantage of Mathematica's revolutionary developments for engineering, science, economics, mathematics, and a vast number of courses across campus.

One of those schools is Truman State University.

Dana Vazzana, an associate professor of mathematics at Truman, integrates Mathematica into every course she teaches. She says using Mathematica with her students creates a dynamic classroom where students gain deeper understanding of concepts and richer insights into real world applications of mathematics. "Anything that gets them that involved and that excited and makes them want to go and work some more has just got to be a good thing,\[CloseCurlyDoubleQuote] explains Vazanna.

Recently, we got a chance to watch Dana put Mathematica into action with her students. In this video, she describes the advantages of teaching with Mathematica and some of her students share how it gives them an edge in their courses.

There are a variety of resources available to help you incorporate Mathematica into your curriculum, including the Wolfram Faculty Program. If you are currently teaching with Mathematica, or interested in doing so, this program offers exclusive benefits designed to support you in your efforts to bring Mathematica into your classroom. You can download and share Mathematica-based teaching materials, access learning resources to teach you and your students more about using Mathematica, and even network with other educators through a special forum.
