Mathematica Cookbook: Building Blocks for Science, Engineering, Finance, Music, and More

by Sal Mangano

Mathematica Cookbook helps you master the application's core principles by walking you through real-world problems. Ideal for browsing, this book includes recipes for working with numerics, data structures, algebraic equations, calculus, and statistics. You'll also venture into exotic territory with recipes for data visualization using 2D and 3D graphic tools, image processing, and music. Although Mathematica 7 is a highly advanced computational platform, the recipes in this book make it accessible to everyone -- whether you're working on high school algebra, simple graphs, PhD-level computation, financial analysis, or advanced engineering models.

The goal of a good educational text should not be to transfer knowledge but to instead have you see and absorb arguments so effective that you will never be able to forget that exposure. I checked this book out for my Differential Equations class and it has been a wonderful resource for much more.





I got to create these animated graphs for my Waves and Optics oral presentations and have transitioned to making all of our graphs in Mathematica. The book knows that wolfram has wonderful documentation for Mathematica. Instead it has done the thing that any great programming book does, which is fill the book with exquisite examples and insight.

Despite being from 201o I never felt like the book was out of date. Nothing I've tried to do has drastically changed in the language as far as I know. You should read this if you want to learn Mathematica.

I bought this as an eBook. Around 1993, I switched to Mathematica from earlier systems as my main "computer algebra" tool. Gradually I realised that it;s field of application was much broader and was also a wonderful way to spring-clean my brain of all the limited-purpose computational clutter (Unix scripts, notably) that had accumulated there. Since then it has been the environment in which I do most of my work so I know it very well. Nevertheless this book is packed with useful information in the form of examples showing the breadth of Mathematica's capabilities in a diversity of applications. I believe it will help and encourage new users to find their way move into it faster.

The style is a perhaps little too informal for my generation's taste (the word "newbie" in the introduction jars a bit ...).

This book and Wolframe help center are the best to learn Mathematica

I'm not sure this is a read straight through kinda book, but I'm going through it right now.
