Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

For courses using Mathematica in departments of science, engineering, and mathematics. The first edition of this title was THE best-selling Mathematica book of its time (other than the manual that's packaged with the software). It sold over 19,000 units since its publication in 1991. A new release of Mathematica has just hit the market, and this classic title has been revised and updated to accommodate the new release.

She holds degrees in mathematics, operations research, and computer science from the University of Birmingham (UK), the University of California at Berkeley, and Stanford University.

COLIN WILLIAMS has used Mathematica intensively since 1990 and has given numerous Mathematica tutorials to banks and engineering research labs. He recently co-wrote CalcLabs with Mathematica with Nancy Blachman, and Explorations in Quantum Computing with Scott Clearwater. Colin also teaches Mathematica at Stanford University.
