The Mathematica Guidebook for Numerics [With Dvdrom] Hardback - 2005

The Mathematica GuideBook for Numerics (text and code fully tailored with Mathematica 5.1) is the third volume of the Mathematica GuideBooks, a comprehensive and detailed print and electronic reference for Mathematica. It introduces the reader to Mathematica's various approximate numbers, their arithmetic and the most common numerical analysis operations such as numerical integration, root-finding, equation solving, minimization, and differential equation solving. It includes thousands of visualizations of concepts, algorithms, results and more than 200 fully worked non-trivial examples from mathematics and physics. The accompanying DVD contains all material in the form of hyperlinked and editable Mathematica notebooks fully tailored for Mathematica 5.1. An indispensable resource for practitioners, professionals, and researchers in mathematics, computer science, engineering and other scientific disciplines, The Mathematica GuideBook for Numerics will find a natural place on the bookshelf as an essential reference work. The Guidebooks in general, give the user a deeper understanding of Mathematica by instructive implementations, explanations, and examples from a range of disciplines at varying levels of complexity. The four GuideBooks contain about 25,000 Mathematica inputs, representing more that 75,000 lines of commented Mathematica code. They also have more than 4,500 graphics, 150 animations, 11,000 references and 1,000 exercises.
