About the Book

An Introduction to Programming with Mathematica(R) is designed to introduce the Mathematica programming language to a wide audience. Since the last edition of this book was published, significant changes have occurred in Mathematica and its use worldwide. Keeping pace with these changes, this substantially larger, updated version includes new and revised chapters on numerics, procedural, rule-based, and front-end programming, and gives significant coverage to the latest features up to, and including, Mathematica 5.1. Mathematica notebooks, available from www .cambridge.org/0521846781, contain examples, programs, and solutions to exercises in the book. Additionally, material to supplement later versions of the software will be made available. This is the ideal text for all scientific students, researchers, and programmers wishing to deepen their understanding of Mathematica, or even those keen to program using an interactive language that contains programming paradigms from all major programming languages: procedural, functional, recursive, rule-based, and object-oriented.

Table of Contents:
1. An introduction to Mathematica; 2. The Mathematica language; 3. Lists; 4. Functional programming; 5. Procedural programming; 6. Rule-based programming; 7. Recursion; 8. Numerics; 9. Graphics programming; 10. Front-end programming; 11. Examples and applications; 12. Writing packages; Appendix A: how expressions are evaluated; Appendix B: debugging.

About the Author :
Paul R. Wellin directs the Wolfram Education Group at Wolfram Research, where he has worked since 1993. He has taught mathematics at both public school and at the university level for over 12 years. He has given talks, workshops, and seminars around the world on the integration of technical computing and education and has served on numerous government advisory panels on these issue. He is the author of several books on Mathematica. Richard J. Gaylord is Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Life member of Clare College at the University of Cambridge in Cambridge England. He has conducted research in theoretical polymer physics and on random walks, as well as in computer simulation modeling in the physical, chemical, biological, economic, and social sciences using Mathematica and is the author of numerous books on Mathematica. Samuel N. Kamin is Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests are in the area of programming languages, compilers, and run-time code generation. He is the author of several books, including Programming Languages: An Interpreter-Based Approach (1990). More recently, he started an educational technology research group in his department, and has been exploring the development and uses of educational applications for the Tablet PC.

Review :
' ... has been revised from cover to cover, with many organizational changes and a substantial amount of new material. It includes coverage up to and including Mathematica 5.1. While the second edition was very well received, the third edition strikes me as an essential document ... I was struck immediately by the lucidity of the prose ...This is not the first book to be written in Mathematica, but it is far and away the most beautiful. From page layout to production quality, the work is on par with any technical text produced by any publisher.' Bruce Torrence, The Mathematica Journal
