Which courses are offered in a given semester?
All of our courses are offered every semester Back To Top
Do I have to already be familiar with Mathematica to take one of these courses?
No. Most students have no experience with Mathematica prior to enrolling in a C&M course. We take special care to familiarize you with what you need to know to use the tool. Experience shows that the software "fades into the background" after a couple of weeks for most students. Back To Top

Students have the option of taking their exams on the University
of Illinois campus or with a proctor who is local to the student. Proctor guidelines may be
