Mathematica Summer School on Theoretical Physics

The first day was consecrated to the study of classical particles and strings in anti de-Sitter space. The morning lecture, by Miguel Costa, surveyed the ideas behind AdS/CFT while the morning Mathematica course was dedicated to the basics of Mathematica Grammar and to a simple example of a particle moving in a two dimensional hyperboloid. The exercises cover classical particles in AdS₃, the folded string solution, basics of Mathematica grammar and numerical solution of the string equations of motion and check of classical integrability for these motions.
