Outline of lecture
Mathematica is a highly ingenious, extremely precise and among others user-friendly programming language. From the standpoint of the human economic science, it is the most suitable for 1) complicated symbolic computation including vast amounts of terms, 2) analytical or numerical solutions of equations, differential equations or minimization calculation, 3) accurate and aesthetic visualization of graphs or figures. In this class, we provide practices using GSIC Educational System and Tsubame Grid Cluster to learn how to manipulate "Mathematica", which is necessary for the calculation of economics or cognitive psychology such as solution to equations, linear algebra (list, vector and matrix manipulation), statistics (Descriptive statistics, Regression, Anova), graphs and complex network, and simulation of complex systems.
Purpose of lecture
We provide trainings for 窶廴atlab窶 and 窶彜PM窶 by using GSIC Educational System and Tsubame Grid Cluster to increase necessary knowledge for the analysis of brain image obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The SPM (statistical parametric mapping) is a software package to analyze human brain activities and it is employed in many fMRI studies. In this lecture, students will learn the theoretical background of the SPM and practical usage as well as how to use the Matlab that is required to run the SPM.
