Mathematica for Scientists and Engineers Summary

Mathematica for Scientists and Engineers by Thomas B. Bahder

A practical guide to Mathematica for solving real-world problems in science and engineering. It includes a tutorial introduction to the system. Unlike other tutorials, examples focus on the non-trivial problems scientists and engineers are likely to encounter in their work, problems that often push Mathematica to its limits. 0201540908B04062001
