Mathematica is revolutionizing mathematics. What the electronic calculator did for arithmetic in the '70s, a powerful new computer language, Mathematica, is doing for all mathematical calculations today. In this task-specific guide to Mathematica for mathematically sophisticated applications, Stan Wagon's goal is to develop the user's mathematical imagination and to unveil the full capacity of the program to achieve impressive results-from standard numerical computations to complex programs at the frontiers of mathematics.
