Media Reviews
Praise for the 2nd Edition: ...Run, do not walk, to get your copy. -Robert M. Lurie, MIT for iJournals.net Each [chapter] is a gem of clarity and concise application, but space limits the praise. If the book has any failings, it is in leaving the reader begging for more. -Scientific Computing and Instrumentation This is an excellent reference book that I would recommend to any one who is thinking about becoming (or already is) a serious user of Mathematica...I am particularly impressed by the organization which allows a mathematician to approach Mathematica by specific mathematical topics rather than using the organization of Wolfram's Mathematica Book. In addition, I find that the text is clearly written and the examples are well-chosen. - Bill Emerson, Metropolitan State University
