Third Edition
By
Heikki Ruskeepaa, University of Turku, Finland
Description
Ruskeepaa gives a general introduction to the most recent versions of Mathematica, the symbolic computation software from Wolfram. The
book emphasizes graphics, methods of applied mathematics and statistics, and programming.
Mathematica Navigator can be used both as
a tutorial and as a handbook. While no previous experience with Mathematica is required, most chapters also include advanced material,
so that the book will be a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced users.
Audience
Students, teachers and professionals interested in utilizing the full power of Mathematica software. Little to no previous experience with the software is necessary.
