For courses using Mathematica in departments of science, engineering, and mathematics. The first edition of this title was THE best-selling Mathematica book of its time (other than the manual that's packaged with the software). It sold over 19,000 units since its publication in 1991. A new release of Mathematica has just hit the market, and this classic title has been revised and updated to accommodate the new release.
