Topics
A computer algebra system such as Mathematica® is able to do much more than just numerics: This text shows how to tackle real mathematical problems from basic analysis. The reader learns how Mathematica® represents domains, qualifiers and limits to implement actual proofs – a requirement to unlock the huge potential of Mathematica® for a variety of applications.
The book deals with functions of many variables: differentiation and integration, extrema with a number of digressions to related subjects such as curves, surfaces and Morse theory. The background needed for understanding the examples and how to compute in Mathematica® will also be discussed.
This book is devoted to applications: differential equations, elements of special functions and differential geometry of curves and surfaces with a specific focus on visualization in Mathematica®. Discusses how Mathematica® can be used as an aid in solving mathematical problems and discovering a solution. A complete tutorial provides the background needed for understanding the examples and how to compute in Mathematica®.
