Mathematica ® in the Laboratory

Mathematica in the Laboratory is a hands-on guide that demonstrates how to acquire and analyze experimental data with Mathematica. It explains how Mathematica can be used to visualize and analyze newly-taken or historical data, compare theory with experiment, and control data acquisition equipment. It provides practical examples that can be taken directly or adapted to suit a particular application. The book lucidly explains how Mathematica can provide a truly unified data-handling environment and will be of value to anyone who collects and analyzes experimental data, including astronomers, biologists, chemists, mathematicians, geologists, physicists, and engineers.

• Shows how Mathematica can be used for instrument control and data acquisition, as well as data assessment and analysis
• Fully compatible with version 3.0 of Mathematica
• Provides many worked examples that can be used 'as is' or as the starting point for specific applications
• Dick and Riddle are authors of 'Applied Electronic Engineering with Mathematica'; Stein was one of the developers of Mathematica
