Materials Science Visualization with Mathematica

Understanding how materials behave at the atomic level requires more than just reading formulas; it requires the ability to model and visualize complex structures. This course teaches you how to use Mathematica to translate core materials science concepts into clear, interactive computational models. You will start with the foundational principles of crystallography, thermodynamics, and material properties before writing your first lines of visualization code. Through structured text explanations and step-by-step code walkthroughs, you will learn how to represent physical phenomena computationally. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational principles of materials science and crystal lattices; Write clean Mathematica code to generate 3D models of atomic structures; Simulate material behaviors under different thermodynamic conditions; Analyze crystal defects, diffusion, and phase transformations computationally; Apply modern data visualization techniques to interpret material property datasets. The course begins with essential terminology and the basics of Mathematica syntax, then guides you through building progressively more complex structural and physical models. This course is designed for beginners in computational materials science, engineering students, and researchers with no prior programming experience.
