Here is the definitive book about Mathematica, written by Stephen Wolfram, the principal architect of the system. This completely revised second edition describes all the features of Mathematica Version 2, and covers the use of Mathematica on Macintosh, PC, Workstation and other computer systems. Since the release of Version 1 in 1988, Mathematica has become a crucial tool for tens of thousands of researchers, engineers, analysts and students (from high school to graduate school). Its applications span all areas of science, technology and business where quantitative methods are used. Mathematica supports numerical, symbolic and graphical computation. It can be used both as an interactive problem-solving environment, and as a modern highlevel programming language. On many computer systems, Mathematica alsó provides interactive documents which mix text, animated graphicsand sound with Mathematica input. New elements in Mathematica Version 2 include: differential equations, linear programming, enhanced graphics, sound generation, enhanced string and file manipulation, expression compilation and programming language extensions.
