Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: The new edition contains a lot of new material and examples ... . It is shown how Mathematica can be used to support (or to replace) many of the usual `by-hand' calculations and to study the results instantaneously by means of graphical representations. In particular, advantage is taken of many special functions and operations ... which are available in Mathematica. The book contains many sample programs, in written form. (M. Plum, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006)


From the reviews of the second edition: The new edition contains a lot of additional material and new examples, and more emphasis is put on an interactive problem solving. In particular, advantage is taken of many special functions and frequently used operations which are available in Mathematica, in order to demonstrate how Mathematica can be used to replace lengthy by-hand calculations and to give graphical support.
