Synopsis
How to use Mathematica to control laboratory experiments and analyse data.
Synopsis
Mathematica in the Laboratory is a hands-on guide which shows how to harness the power and flexibility of Mathematica in the control of data-acquisition equipment and the analysis of experimental data.It explains how to import, manipulate, visualize and analyze data, and also deals with the control of laboratory equipment, including the use of Mathematica's MathLink system in instrument control, data processing, and interfacing. Many practical examples are given, which can either be used directly or adapted to suit a particular application.
