Editorial Reviews

Review

"Written with the beginner in mind...[the book] is easier to handle than the standard manual... Exercises are set throughout the text...to provide a graduated introduction... This crash course will appeal to teachers and to enthusiastic computer literate students wanting to be ‘fast-tracked’ into MATHEMATICA®. It is clearly written, and should work well as a tutorial text." -The Australian Mathematics Teacher
