Updated for version 2.2, the presentation bridges the gap between very elementary handbooks and references for advanced users. It is useful for beginners and others, introducing the basic commands and including typical examples of applications. In addition, it also includes commands useful in areas such as calculus, linear algebra, business math, ordinary and partial differential equations, and graphics. Annotation c.

Editorials

From the Publisher

Praise for the 3rd Edition

"Mathematica by Example, 3rd Edition is presented in a very accessible form for new (and more experienced) student users of Mathematica. The fact that information is organized according to the basic mathematics topics studied by STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and other undergraduates, facilitates locating information for these students."
Dr. Shirley Pomeranz, Department of Mathematical & Computer Sciences- The University of Tulsa, OK

"...I think this book hits it just about right. It covers the Mathematica needed for core mathematics without being too overblown."
Gary Stoudt, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
