Part of a four-volume set, this initial volume provides a thorough, clearly organized text describing the programming language of Mathematica. Trott, who is part of the research and development team a... Wolfram Research (which developed Mathematica), presents the material in sequential chapters, each beginning with a description of a function and a few examples. The function is then presented in a programmatically constructed overview with links to its attributes and options and a list of references. The chapter concludes with a group of exercises accompanied by lengthy discussion of the potential solution of each. In this fashion, readers build their knowledge on solid building blocks of information combined with hands-on application. The included DVD contains the 14 main notebooks of Mathematica (tailored to Mathematica 4 and compatible to Mathematica 5), a hyperlinked table of contents and index, a navigation palette, and a utility notebook and files. The next three volumes describe how to use Mathematica for graphics, numerics, and symbolics. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) 続きを見る
