Provides four dimensions of information: over 700 pictures of graphs to guide thinking about functions; programs for doing mathematics by computer; key formulas for accurate and efficient solutions; and over 150 numerical functions from mathematics that are used by practitioners in such areas as applied mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering. The CD-Rom contains "Mathematica" notebooks for the visualizations in the text, generating some of the functions algebraically, and calculating numerical test values; and source programs for the functions in Fortran.
