The MATHEMATICA ® Book, Version 4

Autor Stephen Wolfram
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 feb 1999
With over a million users around the world, the Mathematica software system created by Stephen Wolfram has defined the direction of technical computing for the past decade. The enhanced text and hypertext processing and state-of-the-art numerical computation features will ensure that Mathematica 4, takes scientific computing into the next century.The Mathematica Book continues to be the definitive reference guide to this revolutionary software package and is released in this new edition to coincide with the release of the new version of Mathematica.The Mathematica Book is a must-have purchase for anyone who wants to understand the opportunities in science, technology, business, and education made possible by Mathematica 4. This encompasses a broad audience of scientists and mathematicians; engineers; computer professionals; financial analysts; medical researchers; and students at high-school, college, and graduate levels. Written by the creator of the system, The Mathematica Book includes both a tutorial introduction and complete reference information, and contains comprehensive description of how to take advantage of Mathematica's ability to solve myriad technical computing problems and its powerful graphical and typesetting capabilities.

Recenzii

'For readers who are already familiar with previous editions the most important aspect will be the new features of Mathematica (of which there are many). Those who are new to Mathematica will find the book indispensable … Mathematica is an extremely powerful package, and facilitates problem solving in both discrete and continuous systems. There is little doubt that electrical engineers who are prepared to invest some time learning to use it will find it of great use. This book makes learning the package a pleasure, and … may be judged excellent value.' Dr W. D. Crowe, IEE Review
'Everything about Mathematica and the way it has been developed is impressive … it is the most comprehensive maths package available today that covers both numeric and symbolic computation. Mathematica 3.0 is simply the new standard of excellence.' Mike James, Scientific Computing World
'This is a Rolls-Royce of a book - almost 1500 pages long - devoted to Mathematica, a programming language used by the scientific and high-technology community, especially in universities and colleges … Truly a compendium magna of the topic … Given the size and complexity of the book, and the fact that it's a hard back, the price is quite modest.' Freelance Informer
'What Mathematica has done is to usher in a new era of fully commercialized technical software.' Karyll Lake, Physics World
'I recommend this text to all Mathematica users.' Mike Denham, Computers and Chemistry
'I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the book to any regular Mathematica user.' Rich Townsend, The Observatory
