Featured Review: Mathematica GuideBooks. The Mathematica GuideBook for Numerics. By Michael Trott. Springer-

چکیده
This review covers the GuideBooks for Numerics and Symbolics. Both are part of Michael Trott’s mammoth four-volume set of Mathematica GuideBooks. The GuideBooks total 5,179 pages, 14 chapters, 107 sections, 4,700 illustrations and over 10,000 references, some of which overlap. There are 278 problems, all solved, resulting in 1650 pages of solutions. Each volume is available separately and deals with one of the key features of Mathematica: programming, graphics, numerics, and symbolics. Although the books can be read independently, Trott suggests reading the volumes in that order. I prefer to learn about the programming and symbolic capabilities of Mathematica before reading about the more applied numerical and visualization features. The overall scope and features of the guidebooks were addressed in an earlier review [11], which also covered the 1,000-page Programming and 1,300-page Graphics installments.

متن کاملMathematica, Packs for Mechanical Engineers – and the elastic torsion problem
Mathematica does nearly all the ordinary engineering mathematics which working engineers need. Mathematica has always done more than Computer Algebra (CA). Numerics, graphics, and user-interface matters have been smoothly integrated with the CA. Mathematica 3 adds mathematical word processing and hyperlinks. This opens the way to truly impressive, useful ‘electronic books’, ‘interactive enginee...

متن کاملRandom triangle in square: geometrical approach
We call our approach geometrical as instead of considering 6-fold integral in abstract space we consider random triangle (RT) inside the plane rectangle when all possible cases are explicitly apparent. Area of triangle with vertices p1=(x1,y1), p2=(x2,y2), p3=(x3,y3) is equal to s = 1 2 (x1(y2− y3) + x2 (−y1 + y3) + x3 (y1− y2)). (1) Let points p1, p2, p3 are randomly (with constant differentia...
