This compact introduction to Mathematicaaccessible to beginners at all levelspresents the basic elements of the latest version 3 (front §End.txt.Int.:, kernel, standard packages). Using examples and exercises not specific to a scientific area, it teaches readers how to effectively solve problems in their own field. The cross-platform CD-ROM contains the entire book in the form of Mathematica notebooks, including color graphics, animations, and hyperlinks, plus the program MathReader.

Industry Reviews

"Written with the beginner in mind...[the book] is easier to handle than the standard manual... Exercises are set throughout the text...to provide a graduated introduction... This crash course will appeal to teachers and to enthusiastic computer literate students wanting to be 'fast-tracked' into MATHEMATICA(R). It is clearly written, and should work well as a tutorial text."

-The Australian Mathematics Teacher
