Media Reviews

From the reviews:

Computer Algebra Recipes . . . is an eclectic collection of application stories together with associated Maple computer algebra worksheets or recipes. . . . The authors have designed this book to show how a computer algebra system such as Maple can be a valuable tool for computer modeling. . . . Any student who works through this text will develop a very good sense of what mathematical modeling is about. . . . This text would work well for self-study or as a source of material for projects. (Bill Satzer, MathDL - Online, April, 2006)

All given algorithms have been designed not only to provide tools for problem solving, but also to stimulate the reader's imagination. .... Moreover, each section of recipes is followed by a set of problems that reader can use to check their understanding. ... Therefore, this handbook is appropriate for any junior/senior level course in Modern Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Algebraic Structures. (Jerzy Martyna, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1106 (8), 2007)

The authors ... aim is to introduce the reader to what they call `the `new' computational science based on the utilization of a CAS [computer algebra system].' ... I ... enjoyed reading this book and I learned a lot of Maple as I went through the worksheets. ... a text in a course that equips undergraduates to analyze and solve problems with a CAS. ... the book might be described as a tutorial on Maple that is based on mathematical models. (L. F. Shampine, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (1), 2007)
