This engaging book--written in the form of a conversation between a well-known Mathematica expert and a prominent mathematics educator--gives readers a better understanding of Mathematica and its application to real world problems. The authors use intriguing examples and plain language to explain basic and advanced Mathematica concepts and techniques. A special feature is a CD/ROM disk included with each copy of the book. The disk contains an unabridged electronic version of the book in Mathematica notebook format that combines text, graphics, mathematical expressions, and animations. This hybrid audio/data CD is compatible with any audio CD player and with Macintosh, MS-DOS, and UNIX CD/ROM drives. 0201528185B04062001 No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

A quarter-century ago, this book was likely a great way to dig into some fundamental ideas of mathematics (complex numbers, iteration, fractals, calculus, etc.) using the symbolic programming environment of Mathematica. It would've been great for newbies to Mathematica and people with only a basic understanding of college-level math. Today, though, it's frustrating. More time is spent learning about differences between historical versions of Mathematica while trying to update the code samples to work in today's.
While reading this book was still a fun and educational, if historical, exercise, it's suffered so much from the ravages of time I can't give it more than three stars or recommend it to others. ( )
