Used as a supplementary text, it will help bridge the gap between Mathematica® and the mathematics in the course, and will serve as an excellent tutorial for former students. As a result, it provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica® software program most useful to students. The unique feature of this compact student's introduction to Mathematica® and the Wolfram Language™ is that the order of the material closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum. '… a book that most students can benefit from.Description Product filter button Description
The examples are neatly chosen, not too complicated, and Mathematica’s capabilities are introduced deliberately … for the purpose and the level it is written for, the book is excellent.' 'The book is written in a fashion that really every student should be able to follow it. Source: ZDM - The International Journal on Mathematics Education ‘The unique feature of this book is that it presents concepts in an order that closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum, rather than structure the book along features of the software … Mathematica commands are introduced as a means of solving problems and illuminating the underlying mathematical principles.’ The book is nicely written and is recommended to anyone studying mathematics.’ ‘The book can be used as a supplementary text in calculus or algebra courses and also as a textbook for students who wish to learn Mathematica and use it to solve mathematical problems. ‘Generally, the text is friendly and easy to follow.Overall, this is an approachable and helpful text that looks like it has been tested in the classroom.’ A welcome book for anyone who needs to use Mathematica.’
‘ … a down-to-earth approach makes the book eminently readable and instructive.almost casually the reader learns how to make the program perform nearly any mathematical operation, from integration to finding eigenvalues or plotting intricate surfaces. ‘This book does a very good job of filling an important niche - giving mathematics students a thorough introduction to Mathematica without overwhelming them with the long manual.’
