Since the publication of this book’s bestselling predecessor, Mathematica® has matured considerably and the computing power of desktop computers has increased greatly. The Mathematica® typesetting functionality has also become sufficiently robust that the final copy for this edition could be transformed directly from Mathematica R notebooks to LaTex input.

Incorporating these aspects, CRC Standard Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica®, Third Edition is a virtual encyclopedia of curves and functions that depicts nearly all of the standard mathematical functions and geometrical figures in use today. The overall format of the book is largely unchanged from the previous edition, with function definitions and their illustrations presented closely together.

New to the Third Edition:

• A new chapter on Laplace transforms
• New curves and surfaces in almost every chapter
• Several chapters that have been reorganized
• Better graphical representations for curves and surfaces throughout
• Downloadable resources, including the entire book in a set of interactive CDF (Computable Document Format) files

The book presents a comprehensive collection of nearly 1,000 illustrations of curves and surfaces often used or encountered in mathematics, graphics design, science, and engineering fields. One significant change with this edition is that, instead of presenting a range of realizations for most functions, this edition presents only one curve associated with each function.

The graphic output of the Manipulate function is shown exactly as rendered in Mathematica, with the exact parameters of the curve’s equation shown as part of the graphic display. This enables readers to gauge what a reasonable range of parameters might be while seeing the result of one particular choice of parameters.

"CRC Standard Curves and Surfaces" is a comprehensive illustrated catalog of curves and surfaces of geometric figures and algebraic, transcendental, and integral equations used in elementary and advanced mathematics. More than 800 graphics images are featured in this title. Based on the successful "CRC Handbook of Mathematical Curves and Surfaces", this new volume retains the easy to use 'catalog' format of the original book.This title features: illustrations that are presented in a common format organized by type of equation; associated equations that are printed in their simplest form along with any notes required to understand the illustrations; and, equations and graphics that appear in a side-by-side format, with figures printed on right hand pages and text on left hand pages. Most curves and surfaces are plotted with several parameter selections so that the variation of the mathematical functions are easily understandable. Coverage on algebraic surfaces and transcendental surfaces has been expanded by 30 per cent over the original edition; material on functions in mathematical physics has expanded by 50 per cent.

New material on functions of random processes and functions of complex variable surfaces has been added. This title features a complementary software program (see the next title listed in this catalog) that enables you to plot all of the functions found in this book.
