First Steps in Mathematica

Mathematica is one of the most widely used computer algebraic systems and runs on a number of machines, including the IBM PC. Werner Burkhardt provides a detailed step-by-step introduction for all first-time users, enabling you to become familiar with the way Mathematica works, as quickly and easily as possible. Teaching is by way of worked examples, based on real questions taken from college and university mathematics and carefully selected to demonstrate Mathematica's capabilities. There are some 'test yourself' problems at the end of each chapter to check your progress, with solutions provided at the end of the book.
