Mathematica Cookbook

Building Blocks for Science, Engineering, Finance, Music, and More

Beschreibung

As the leading software application for symbolic mathematics, Mathematica is standard in many environments that rely on math, such as science, engineering, financial analysis, software development, and many other fields. This cookbook provides practical solutions on a wide range of topics for anyone using this remarkable program. Whether you want to use it for high school algebra, PhD-level computation, simple graphs, financial analysis, or advanced engineering models, you'll find the recipes in Mathematica Cookbook extremely useful and informative.

With key support from Mathematica's developer, Wolfram Research, this authoritative cookbook covers Mathematica 7, the major new release of the software, with recipes on three-dimensional imagining, audio processing, calculations from mathematics and physics, image processing, distributed computing, and much more from key people in the Mathematica community.

If you need a sophisticated tool with animation and interaction features for data visualization, or just want to play around with math in a visual way, Mathematica Cookbook is ideal for professionals and hobbyists from all walks of life.

Autor

Sal Mangano has been developing software since the days Borland Turbo C and has worked with an eclectic mix of programming languages and technologies. Sal worked on many mission-critical applications, especially in the area of financial-trading applications. In his day job, he works mostly with mainstream languages like C++ and Java so he chooses to play with more interesting technology whenever he gets a chance. Sal's two books (XSLT Cookbook and Math Mathematica Cookbook) may seem to be an odd pair of technologies for a single author but there is a common theme that reflects his view at what makes a language powerful. Both Mathematica and XSLT rest on the idea of pattern matching and transformation. They may use these patterns in different ways and transformations to achieve different ends but they are both good at what they do and interesting to program in for a common reason. Sal's passion for these languages and ideas comes through in both these cookbooks. He also likes to push technologies as far as they can go and into every nook and cranny of application. This is reflected in the wide mix of recipes he assembled for these books. Sal has a Master's degree in Computer Science from Polytechnic University.
