A physicist's guide to Mathematica

by Patrick T. Tam

Mathematica enables the user to solve a wide range of physics problems and provides an environment that allows the user to develop a greater intuitive understanding of physics. This book will aid the reader in using Mathematica for numerical, symbolic, and graphical calculations, and also will demonstrate the program's capability to animate two- and three-dimensional graphics. Tam's treatment of the subject is greatly detailed, and makes A Physicist's Guide to Mathematica an essential reference for anyone needing an introduction to Mathematica's applications to physics.
