This is the first in a series of seminars that cover the use of the Unix Operating System. Unix is used in a variety of applications, both in academia and industry. We will provide you with hands-on experience with the Math Faculty's Unix environment in this seminar.

Topics that will be discussed include:

• Navigating the Unix environment
• Using common Unix commands
• Using the PICO text editor
