Mathematica in the laboratory

by Samuel Dick

The gathering and analysis of experimental data are fundamental activities in science and engineering. Mathematica in the Laboratory is a hands-on guide which shows how to harness the power and flexibility of Mathematica in the control of data-acquisition equipment and the analysis of experimental data. It is fully compatible with Mathematica 3.0. Many practical examples are given, which can either be used directly or adapted to suit a particular application. The book sets out clearly how Mathematica can provide a truly unified data-handling environment, and will be invaluable to anyone who collects or analyzes experimental data, including astronomers, biologists, chemists, mathematicians, geologists, physicists, and engineers.
