USDStarting from first principles, this book covers all of the foundational material needed to develop a clear understanding of the <i>Mathematica language</i>, with a practical emphasis on solving problems. Concrete examples throughout the text demonstrate how <i>Mathematica language</i>, can be used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics/finance, computational linguistics, geoscience, bioinformatics, and a range of other fields.
<br />
The book will appeal to students, researchers and programmers wishing to further their understanding of <i>Mathematica language</i>. Designed to suit users of any ability, it assumes no formal knowledge of programming so it is ideal for self-study. Over 290 exercises are provided to challenge the reader’s understanding of the material covered and these provide ample opportunity to practice using the language. <i>Mathematica language</i> notebooks containing examples, programs and solutions to exercises are available from www.cambridge.org/wellin.
- Introduces the Mathematica programming language to a wide audience
