Book description

Starting from first principles, this book covers all of the foundational material needed to develop a clear understanding of the Mathematica language, with a practical emphasis on solving problems. Concrete examples throughout the text demonstrate how Mathematica can be used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics/finance, computational linguistics, geoscience, bioinformatics, and a range of other fields. The book will appeal to students, researchers and programmers wishing to further their understanding of Mathematica. Designed to suit users of any ability, it assumes no formal knowledge of programming so it is ideal for self-study. Over 290 exercises are provided to challenge the reader's understanding of the material covered and these provide ample opportunity to practice using the language. Mathematica notebooks containing examples, programs and solutions to exercises are available from www.cambridge.org/wellin.

Reviews

' … has been revised from cover to cover, with many organizational changes and a substantial amount of new material. It includes coverage up to and including Mathematica 5.1. While the second edition was very well received, the third edition strikes me as an essential document … I was struck immediately by the lucidity of the prose …This is not the first book to be written in Mathematica, but it is far and away the most beautiful. From page layout to production quality, the work is on par with any technical text produced by any publisher.'

Bruce Torrence Source: The Mathematica Journal

'there are some 300 books … about Mathematica in various contexts. If you want an enjoyable introduction to programming, this is the one to get.'
