Applied Mathematica: Getting Started, Getting it Done

By Alex Blewitt

better ways to solve problems. This book shows how Mathematica., the powerful mathematical software system, can be used to solve problems in the applied sciences. Written by two authors who have been teaching Mathematica courses to scientists and engineers for years, this book is a must for anyone who needs to use Mathematica to solve complex problems in the applied sciences. The book tackles complex, practical problems, and shows how to solve them from start to finish. After presenting a 3quick start2 chapter designed to get up and running with Mathematica, the authors show how Mathematica can be used as a data analysis and visualization system. Topics in this section include importing information to Mathematica, organizing information, visualizing data in both 2-D and 3-D, processing information, and exporting results from Mathematica. Next, the authors guide you through programming in Mathematica. Included here are topics such as programming styles, important built-in structures, function definitions, procedural methods, rule-based schemes and iteration, contexts and packages, and increasing efficiency. Also included is a separate section detailing several case studies that expl This description may be from another edition of this product.
