Mathematica for the Sciences

by Richard E. Crandall

Mathematica, a celebrated modern language for doing mathematics symbolically and numerically, is equally powerful as a scientific tool. Taking a broad perspective, the author gives readers a clear sense of how Mathematica can be used in a number of fields. His examples are drawn from physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering. While seeing the potential for this tool, readers will also learn how to rediscover the great relations and theorems from the annals of science. This is a book for anyone who wishes to explore the wonders of science with the power of Mathematica.
