Praise for the 3rd Edition
"Mathematica by Example, 3rd Edition is presented in a very accessible form for new (and more experienced) student users of Mathematica. The fact that information is organized according to the basic mathematics topics studied by STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and other undergraduates, facilitates locating information for these students."
Dr. Shirley Pomeranz, Department of Mathematical & Computer Sciences- The University of Tulsa, OK
"I think this book hits it just about right. It covers the Mathematica needed for core mathematics without being too overblown."
Gary Stoudt, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Customer Reviews & Comments
If you learn by example rather than by formalism, get this book. This presents the material in a logical framework with LOTS OF EXAMPLES. A companion volume is "The Mathematica Handbook", also by the same two writers. I used these books extensively in grad school. I remember standing in the university bookstore for 30 min comparing the handful of books available on Mathematica and these two books won out then and now still cover the fundamentals well. I still use them in my work today. NOTE: The volume I have only covers up to Ver 2.2, but I noticed the latest has 1997 copyright, so might now cover later versions.
