Synopsis:
The unique feature of this compact student's introduction is that it
presents concepts in an order that closely follows a standard mathematics
curriculum, rather than structure the book along features of the software.
As a result, the book provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the
Mathematica software program most useful to students. The second edition of
this well loved book is completely rewritten for Mathematica 6 including
coverage of the new dynamic interface elements, several hundred exercises
and a new chapter on programming. This book can be used in a variety of
courses, from precalculus to linear algebra. Used as a supplementary text
it will aid in bridging the gap between the mathematics in the course and
Mathematica. In addition to its course use, this book will serve as an
excellent tutorial for those wishing to learn Mathematica and brush up on
their mathematics at the same time.
