I don't use DSP's in any course. I build research tools with them.
Mathematica is useable as a calculator starting in kindergarten.
you TYPE
2+3 shiftENTER
mathematica displays
In(1) = 2+3
Out(1) = 5
N.B. I believe in memorizing addition and multiplication tables and in
using flash cards. I do not believe in intensive use of 4 bangers,
TI-92's, or computors until the problems get so difficult there is no
reasonable alternative.
Going up through the grades from kindergarten, Mathematica is a tool that
can stay with you for life.
