I am a physics professor at Washington & Jefferson College. I have used Mathematica since obtaining a beta version of the program prior from Wolfram to its commercial release -- I was a graduate student at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign at that time. Over the years, I have taught numerous college Mathematica courses and Mathematica labs associated with mathematical physics courses. In the 90's, I found the comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica newsgroup, founded by Steven Christensen to be exceptionally useful for increasing my ability to use Mathematica.
