Résumé :
|
This comprehensive guide to"Mathematica", a popular system for solving quantitative problems with a computer, focuses on the specific needs of scientists and engineers. Using carefully chosen examples, the author gives the reader an indepth understanding of the underlying conceptual structure of "Mathematica". The guide includes a comprehensive tutorial of "Mathematica" commands and programming idioms. It takes the user "under the hood" to explain why commands work and why they fail. It provides numerous examples solving real-worls, non-trivial problems in differential equations, boundary value problems, vector field theory, and tensors. It gives a thorough treatment of evaluation issues that affect long running times and memory management, and contains a step-by-step tutorial for installing FORTRAN and C programs into "Mathematica" using MathLink.
