Description

Mathematica Navigator contains a great deal of material not easily found elsewhere in a well-organized form, with sufficient detail and illustrative examples. This book will serve excellently as a Mathematica handbook; it starts with the basics, goes carefully through the main material of Mathematica, and covers some advanced topics. Mathematica packages are integrated into the text, so that the reader gets a comprehensive overview of the features of Mathematica. This book allows a new user to begin working with Mathematica and proceed to quite a high level. Old users will find much new material, allowing them to raise their knowledge and skill to an even higher level. In addition, registered readers can send questions to the author concerning the use of Mathematica in areas treated in the book.
