Introduction to Mathematica with Applications

Starting with an introduction to the numerous features of Mathematica(R), this book continues with more complex material. It provides the reader with lots of examples and illustrations of how the benefits of Mathematica(R) can be used. Composed of eleven chapters, it includes the following: * A chapter on several sorting algorithms* Functions (planar and solid) with many interesting examples* Ordinary differential equations* Advantages of Mathematica(R) dealing with the Pi number* The power of Mathematica(R) working with optimal control problems Introduction to Mathematica(R) with Applications will appeal to researchers, professors and students requiring a computational tool.
