Synopses & Reviews
This third edition of
Mathematica by Example is completely compatible with recent Mathematica versions. Highly readable and informative, this volume is geared toward the beginning Mathematica user, and focuses on the most often used features of this powerful tool. The book covers popular applications of mathematics within different areas including calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations.
* Fully compatible with recent releases of Mathematica
* Includes CD-ROM containing all input used in text
* Focuses on the beginning Mathematica user
* Covers all the basics needed to get up and running with Mathematica, especially for use in mathematics
* Written by authors of several successful AP books on Mathematica
"The book does an excellent job of providing information that beginning Mathematica users need...The Mathematica graphical output is excellent."
-- William Emerson, Metropolitan State College
Review
"The book does an excellent job of providing information that beginning Mathematica users need, I think the use of Mathematica is excellent. The Mathematica graphical output is excellent" William Emerson, Metropolitan State College
"It appeals to a wide range of readers and can be used in two years' worth of courses. It is far more readable than the Wolfram reference tome." Alan Shucat, Wellesley College
Review
Introduces users to new Mathematica features and applications in clear, understandable language
