Résumé
With over a million users around the world, the Mathematica
software system created by Stephen Wolfram has defined the
direction of technical computing for the past decade. The
enhanced text and hypertext processing and state-of-the-art
numerical computation features will ensure that Mathematica
4 takes scientific computing into the next century. The
Mathematica Book continues to be the definitive reference
guide to this revolutionary software package and is
released in this new edition to coincide with the release
of the new version of Mathematica. The Mathematica Book is
a must-have purchase for anyone who wants to understand the
opportunities in science, technology, business, and
education made possible by Mathematica 4. This encompasses
a broad audience of scientists and mathematicians,
engineers, computer professionals, financial analysts,
medical researchers, and students at high-school, college,
and graduate levels. Written by the creator of the system,
The Mathematica Book includes both a tutorial introduction
and complete reference information, and contains a
comprehensive description of how to take advantage of
Mathematica's ability to solve myriad technical computing
problems and its powerful graphical and typesetting
capabilities. New to this version: Written by the creator
of the system, The Mathematica Book includes:
- Visual tour of key features
