Hi! Arben I have completed the quiz but I can't find any prompts to download my completion certificate. Any help?

Hello, happy to hear you've passed the quiz. We will be collecting the passing attendee emails and sending out the certificates next week. Please let us know if you do not receive your certificate.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Arben,

Thanks for showing the Cloud option. That was super useful! I got two visualizations up there already. Here's one:

https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/alayontf/Trajectories%20with%20Phase%20Portrait

I can't get much credit for the code. My other assistant helped.

Some questions regarding the Cloud Deployment:

1) Is there a limit to the number of pages I can publish? It looks like each visualization is one page.

2) How much space do these Cloud Objects take? I can see the number of pages and credits (not sure what the credits are for either) on my Dashboard, but couldn't find a place to find the space taken.

3) I received an email about my account recently which mentioned "Temporary cloud deployments, allowing you to publish Wolfram Notebooks in the cloud and deploy APIs for up to 60 days." Does that include these objects as well? If so, that won't cover the whole semester unfortunately.

I'm also going to come back to the colorblind friendly colormap question. I think it's also called perceptually uniform, or maybe that's another extra condition. I used twilight in my Python codes for complex visualizations in activities before. My other assistant said that there are no cyclic perceptually uniform colormaps in Mathematica. Is that correct? It said I can import the Python colormaps into Mathematica, but I'm not sure how easy it would be. If it doesn't require master level Mathematica expertise, I can figure it out by the next time I teach complex (not soon).

Thanks so much for any information and help!

Note: Sorry for the long and late post. I'm putting all these questions in one post late at night since the system didn't let me post for 24 hours.

Hi Arben,

I missed the end of Tuesday's recording since I had to hop on another meeting. I just watched it and noticed that you discussed how to make visualizations with sliders. Can I make a visualization and post it somewhere for my students to play with it? The code worked on Wolfram Alpha, but it did not activate the slider. My students technically have free Mathematica as well, but it's not a language they'd be familiar with. If I can do something like Desmos/GeoGebra applets for them, itit would work great and would not require downloading or working with the commands directly.

Another question related to Tuesday's topic is about the parts in lists and MatrixForm. I'm a bit confused about how those work. If I have an odd number layers, such as a 4x3x2 list, MatrixForm turns it into a 4x3 matrix of size 2 vectors, and not a row of four 3x2 matrices. I experimented with a five layer list (4x3x2x2x3) and that also turned into a 4x3 matrix of 2x2 matrix of size 3 vectors. It looks like the last layer always becomes the innermost vector size in the matrices if we have odd number layers. Is that the default? Can that be changed?

Relatedly, it looks like there are no parts to the MatrixForm version of a list. If I look at part 1 of a list, I get the first term. But once I convert it to a MatrixForm, then part 1 gives the whole thing, which means the MatrixForm is a single part type. I don't get the first entry in the first row. In other words, the MatrixForm doesn't think of its entries as parts. I don't have access to Mathematica Notebook Assistant, but another assistant said it's because the MatrixForm is only for displaying and does not convert the list to a matrix. Is that correct?

Thanks for any information!

Hi Feryal! These are great questions—I'll address them live tomorrow, if you don't mind.

Hi,

Could you ask BigMarker to permit downloads of the study group recordings, assuming that functionality exists in BigMarker? It's a matter of convenience (and user-friendliness) since it's possible to record anything that appears in a GUI desktop using an external program.

Thanks.

Monday's session in our Exploring and Getting Started with Wolfram Language Daily Study Group will feature a guided tour of the new Wolfram Notebook Assistant with @Arben Kalziqi. He'll show how to get help writing code, running calculations and getting answers to questions that include real-world data from the Wolfram Knowledgebase, all from a chat-based assistant. Looking forward to it!
