Beschreibung
The unique feature of this compact student's introduction to Mathematica® and the Wolfram Language(TM) is that the order of the material closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum. As a result, it provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica® software program most useful to students. Used as a supplementary text, it will help bridge the gap between Mathematica® and the mathematics in the course, and will serve as an excellent tutorial for former students. There have been significant changes to Mathematica® since the second edition, and all chapters have now been updated to account for new features in the software, including natural language queries and the vast stores of real-world data that are now integrated through the cloud. This third edition also includes many new exercises and a chapter on 3D printing that showcases the new computational geometry capabilities that will equip readers to print in 3D.

Über den Autor
Bruce F. Torrence is the Garnett Professor of Mathematics at Randolph-Macon College, Virginia. In 2014, he received a Wolfram Innovator Award for his use of Mathematica in mathematics education, and in 2008 he received the John Smith Award for distinguished teaching from the Mathematical Association of America. Bruce served as a co-editor of Math Horizons magazine from 2008-2013, and his writings have twice appeared in the Best Writing on Mathematics series, in 2012 and 2014. Trained as an algebraic topologist, he has a longstanding interest in computer algebra systems.
