Complements the MACSYMA program by showing professionals as well as students how to use it quickly and easily, thus enabling them to perform ordinarily complicated and cumbersome mathematical procedures with a computer rather than by hand. User friendly, it allows for quick assimilation of the program and its features, relying on expository material, examples and exercises with answers. Many of the examples explain how to solve statistical problems that are difficult to do by hand and also difficult to get the computer to figure out using the manual included with the program.

3.0 out of 5 stars
outdated software,
By
This review is from: MACSYMA for Statisticians (Hardcover)
The statistical methods given in this book are certainly still valid. But the author should seriously consider producing a new edition of her book. Published in 1991, it used the then current version of Macsyma. That is a long epoch in software. Macsyma has been upgraded several times since.
To be sure, the upgrades tend to form a superset. So if you get a recent copy of the code, then the book's advice should still mostly be germane. But undoubtedly, the upgrades have involved expanded statistical capabilities, and improved graphics. It would thus be nice to use a book that adequately reflected this, to enhance your productivity.

Nothing to do with statisticians,

This review is from: MACSYMA for Statisticians (Hardcover)
The content of this book is alomst nothing to do with the statisticians. It introduces the usage of elementary commands of macsyma. Disappointed... It might be useful only to beginners.
