"A
Crash Course in Mathematica" is a compact introduction to the
program Mathematica, which is widely used in mathematics, as well as in
the natural and engineering sciences. The essential basics of Mathematica
Versions 3 and 4 (front end, kernel and the most important standard packages)
are explained with simple, non-field-specific examples and exercises. After
working through the book, readers will be able to solve problems from their own
specialties by themselves and find additional support in the online
documentation.
The
included CD-ROM contains the entire book in the form of Mathematica
notebooks, with color versions of the graphics and animations. Hyperlinks built
into the notebooks serve as internal references and point to the program's
online documentation and to resources on the Internet. The Win95/98/NT-, Mac-
and Unix-compatible CD-ROM contains the program MathReader, with which
the notebooks can be viewed without a complete installation of Mathematica.
The
book is aimed at beginners in Mathematica on all levels and is
particularly suited for classroom use.
