 What
is Analytica?
Why
teach with Analytica?
|
The new "Analytica in the Classroom" program lets
teachers and students in classes at accredited colleges and
universities use Analytica free of charge. Analytica
is currently being used in universities around the world for
teaching quantitative modeling and decision analysis. Our goal
is to expand this effort by making Analytica more accessible
as a teaching tool in the classroom.
We are offering Analytica Professional licenses free for use
by you and your students for one term or semester. During or
after the class, we request that you (and your students if they
like) contribute a brief description of how you used Analytica
in your class, exercises and tips for others.
Note, "Analytica in the Classroom" is purely
targeted at teaching efforts in the classroom. Lumina also offers
Analytica for other educational or research purposes at a discounted
rate. To order Analytica 4.0 for educational use click

| Why
is Analytica good for teaching modeling? |
Professors often prefer Analytica because it encourages students
to attend to the big picture - drawing visual influence diagrams
to show the decisions, objectives, uncertainties and their relationships
- without getting bogged down in spreadsheet cells.
