Synopsis

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Mathematica is an extremely powerful computer algebra system (with both symbolic and numerical capabilities), a graphing tool for any mathematical function in two or three dimensions, a self-contained programming language, and also a typesetting program. Using both symbolic and numerical capabilities, Mathematica is a two or three-dimensional graphing tool for any mathematical function, a self-contained programming language, and also a typesetting program. Intended for Mathematica beginners, this book/CD-ROM package contains built-in commands that can be used to solve problems directly and can also be used to visualise solutions. This Second Edition of the groundbreaking Differential Equations with Mathematica integrates new applications from a variety of fields, especially biology, physics, and engineering. The new handbook is also completely compatible with Mathematica version 3.0 and is a perfect introduction for Mathematica beginners. The book/CD-ROM package contains built-in commands that lets the user solve problems directly using graphical solutions. Features: * Focuses on the most often used features of Mathematica for the beginning Mathematica user * CD-ROM contains all Mathematica inputs from the text * New applications from a variety of fields, including engineering, biology, and physics * All applications were completed using version 3.0 of Mathematica

About this title

Review

Stephen McDowall of Western Washington University says:
" The topics covered are extensive. The order and organization are good, especially in terms of
increasing sophistication of the mathematics involved and in the complexity of the Mathematica
programming necessary"

Mark Lusk of The Colorado School of Mines says:
" I am considering the adoption of this book for my graduate class in Simulation and Modeling. I
make very heavy use of Mathematica and have a weekly computer lab. I am tempted to make this
the sole, required text for that course"
