Sobre escuela de verano de Mathematica en Wolfram Research

MaTECmatica sobre escuela de verano de Mathematica en Wolfram Research:

(Quizás convenga que lean los siguientes tres correos de abajo para arriba, para que entiendan como está la historia)

Dear Jose,

We consider the $2500 tuition to be a nominal fee for two weeks of one-on-one time with Wolfram Research's top Mathematica developers. The first week of the summer school we plan to offer workshops and trainings that would normally cost approximately $1000 per day. For the time and content alone the tuition that we are asking is well below the actual cost of what attendees will take with them. Also, as mentioned on the website, we have a limited number of scholarships available. I would also like to mention that there are several Wolfram Education Group courses that you or your students can take that might benefit the project.

I hope that you will reconsider and apply for what we believe is an phenomenal opportunity.

Best wishes,

Onkar Singh
