About the Book

Mathematica is today's most advanced technical computing system. It features a rich programming environment, two-and three-dimensional graphics capabilities and hundreds of sophisticated, powerful programming and mathematical functions using state-of-the-art algorithms. Combined with a user-friendly interface, and a complete mathematical typesetting system, Mathematica offers an intuitive, easy-to-handle environment of great power and utility.The Mathematica GuideBook for Symbolics (code and text fully tailored with Mathematica 5.1) deals with Mathematicas symbolic mathematical capabilities. Structural and mathematical operations on single and systems of polynomials are fundamental to many symbolic calculations and they are covered in considerable detail. The solution of equations and differential equations, as well as the classical calculus operations (differentiation, integration, summation, series expansion, limits) are exhaustively treated. Generalized functions and their uses are discussed. In addition, this volume discusses and employs the classical orthogonal polynomials and special functions of mathematical physics. To demonstrate the symbolic mathematics power, a large variety of problems from mathematics and phyics are discussed. Unique Features: Familiarizes the reader with symbolic mathematics functions in Mathematica for algebra, analysis, as well as orthogonal polynomials and the special functions of mathematical physics and shows how to use them effectively Detailed discussions of the most frequent symbolic operations: equation solving, differentiation, series expansion, integration and organizing and performing symbolic calculations in mathematica, as compared to paper-and-pencil Numerous examples from mathematics and physicsClear organization, complete topic coverage, and an accessible exposition for both novices and experts Website for book with additional materials: http://www MathematicaGuideBooks.orgAccompanying DVD contains all material in the form of hyperlinked Mathematica notebooks that can be edited and manipulated; striking color graphics and animations are included on the DVDMichael Trott is a symbolic computation and computer graphics expert. He holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics and joined the R&D team at Wolfram Research in 1994, the creators of Mathematica. Since 1998, he has been leading the development of the Wolfram Functions Site http://functions.wolfram.com, which currently features more that 85,000 formulas and identities, 10,000 visualizations and allows for semantical searches for identities.

Review :
From the reviews: "The book is filled with Mathematica programming gems and is particularly valuable for researchers using special functions in their work because of extensive coverage of these topics. ! Every chapter has numerous exercises with full solutions. Every computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering library should have this ! on its shelves, because this is the best source of the applications of Mathematica to numerous computational tasks." (Matti Vuorinen, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006) "This guidebook has three chapters. ! I enjoyed reading the symbolics Guidebook. ! take the reader on a thrilling tour of the features of Mathematica. I am impressed with the breadth and depth of Trott's coverage and his profound understanding of the strengths and limitations of Mathematica. ! includes a multiplatform DVD-ROM which allows the reader to experiment with code and view graphics in color. ! an invaluable resource and classic reference for scientists who use Mathematica in teaching or research." (Willy Hereman, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (1), 2007)
