Mathematica by Stephen Wolfram

Mathematica by Stephen Wolfram

This book is an adaptation of Stephen Wolfram's work, "Mathematica: A System for Doing Mathematics by Computer", second edition. This adaptation addresses the student's need for more concise and accessible information. The author has trimmed his book to nearly half its original length, focusing only on those functions and topics likely to be encountered in educational settings. At the same time, he has added examples to make certain discussions more understandable for students.

Stephen Wolfram was born in England in 1959. He was educated at Eton and Oxford, and received his PhD in theoretical physics from Caltech at the age of twenty. Wolfram's early work in particle physics, cosmology and computer science earned him one of the first MacArthur awards. Wolfram began his work on the problem of complexity in 1981. And after writing the sequence of papers collected in this book, Wolfram founded the first research center and the first journal devoted to the study of complexity. Then in 1986, he formed Wolfram Research, Inc., and began the development of Mathematica. Released in 1988, Mathematica has become the standard software system for technical computation used by scientists, engineers, students and others around the world. Wolfram has been the recipient of many awards for science and business. He now divides his time between basic research and the leadership of his company.
