About this title

Synopsis

An Introduction to Programming with Mathematica is the first book published expressly to teach Mathematica as a programming language to scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. This text may be used in a first or second course on programming at the undergraduate level or in a Mathematica-related course in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences. It is also intended for individual study by students and professionals. The text does not assume familiarity with Mathematica nor does it require any prior programming experience. The book and diskette contain over 200 exercises drawn from many areas of science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. The 3 1/2'' diskette included with this book can be read by UNIX, IBM-compatible, NeXT, and Macintosh computers. The diskette includes Notebooks and packages containing the code for all of the examples and exercises in the text, as well as additional material extending many of the ideas in the text. The packages will run on any computer running Mathematica and the Notebooks will run on any computer that supports Mathematica Notebooks. Version 2.0 or later of Mathematica is recommended for maximum use of the diskette.

From the Back Cover

Introduction to Programming with Mathematica is designed to teach Mathematica programming to scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists so that they can fully utilize Mathematica for their work in research or education. No prior familiarity with Mathematica or programming is assumed. The text can be used either for individual study by students and professionals or in a Mathematica-related university course. The second edition of the book and diskette contains a number of new features: a new chapter on Applications (Chapter 11), additional material on packages, and more exercises throughout. Solutions to the exercises are provided both in the book and on the accompanying diskette.
