The Joy of Mathematica

Shuchat A. and Shultz F.

Mathematica is a powerful software system for doing mathematics by computer. It has revolutionized the way mathematics is used in a variety of disciplines. The Joy of Mathematica software is a separate program for the Macintosh which uses menus and dialog boxes for typing commands. A disk included in the back of the book contains The Joy of Mathematica software. Available for the Macintosh only. Requires Macintosh version of Mathematica. The Joy of Mathematica book teaches readers how to use the Joy of Mathematica software program. It is both a manual for the Joy software and an introduction to Mathematica and its use in mathematics. The book is for anyone who wants to do mathematics on the Macintosh. It shows how to explore the mathematics commonly found in the first two years of calculus, as well as in linear algebra and precalculus, and in mathematics, science, and engineering courses. The book shows how the Joy software solves problems in ways that reveal the extent of MathematicaÕs abilities and that are interesting in their own right.
