Book Description

Publication Date: May 1994 | ISBN-10: 0201554798 | ISBN-13: 978-0201554793

This book is an adaptation of Stephen Wolfram's work, "Mathematica: A System for Doing Mathematics by Computer", second edition. This adaptation addresses the student's need for more concise and accessible information. The author has trimmed his book to nearly half its original length, focusing only on those functions and topics likely to be encountered in educational settings. At the same time, he has added examples to make certain discussions more understandable for students.
