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 introduce the basics of MATLAB programming by using GSIC Educational System and Tsubame Grid Cluster to provide necessary knowledge about the computation of social networks as complex networks and neuro-imaging data 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 basic approaches of graph analysis and brain analysis using MATLAB.
