Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Mathematica(r) for Physics (Paperback)
This rather compact book has given me hours of delight. There are many helpful examples; examples that reflect real problems. A drawback for many Mathematica books is that they revolve around easy examples, and that their utility is limited in the interest of clarity. Zimmerman and Olnes display two areas of expertise: Mathematica and physics. It is clear that they are seasoned practitioners and they are sharing the results of the experience. The graduated problems were quite helpful. The problems span the spectrum from easy to challenging and are an excellent adjunct to the text. Mathematica is a sophisticated package and this volume was very helpful during the transition from pedagogic tutorials to attacking problems in grad school and the laboratory.
