Since its first release in 1988, Mathematica has sold over a quarter of a million copies throughout the world, enabling the manipulation of fields of mathematics such as numerics, symbolic algebra, and graphics. This step-by-step guide deals solely with generating computer graphics using the Mathematica software. It is written by an expert in the field, himself an employee of Wolfram Research, Inc., the creators and distributors of the software. Dr. Wickham-Jones is directly involved in all the technical issues and programs relating to the graphics side of the Mathematica package, and is therefore an obvious choice as author of such a publication.

An Excellent Tool,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematica Graphics: Techniques & Applications (Hardcover)
I keep this volume next to my _Mathematica_ and _Standard Add-On Packages_ books. I've used Mathematica since its introduction to make thousands of graphs and figures for publication and communication. Still I can always use as much help making better graphics as I can get. Written by one of the Mathematica team, this book provides an excellent set of tools for everyone from the novice to the experienced user for making even better visual material using Mathematica. One of the top 10 Mathematica books without a doubt.
