Sinopsis

Preface Mathematica introduced two important innovations to computer graphics. The first was the close integration of high-quality graphics in a computational system. Before Mathematica, graphics systems tended to be separated from computational systems. This meant that after results had been generated in the latter they needed to be exported to the former. Mathematica demonstrated that graphics were an indispensable component. Integration was more than a matter of convenience; it expanded the type of work that could be attempted. The other innovation, more far-reaching, is the way that Mathematica treats graphics objects in symbolic or object form using a high-level programming language. This allows graphical elements to be developed that build upon lower-level primitives and can themselves be combined into yet more complex elements. In addition to these programming capabilities Mathematica provides a huge set of functions that range from file input and output, through numerical functions, to symbolic mathematics. With all these tools Mathematica works well for a wide range of graphical applications, from creating specific plots to constructing very general diagrams and figures.

Críticas

"The book accomplishes its objectives completely. The presentation of the ideas and instructions is clear, and the examples fully illustrate the system's capabilities." - Computing Reviews

Reseña del editor

Since its first release in 1988, Mathematica has sold over a quarter of a million copies throughout the world, enabling the manipulation of fields of mathematics such as numerics, symbolic algebra, and graphics. This step-by-step guide deals solely with generating computer graphics using the Mathematica software. It is written by an expert in the field, himself an employee of Wolfram Research, Inc., the creators and distributors of the software. Dr. Wickham-Jones is directly involved in all the technical issues and programs relating to the graphics side of the Mathematica package, and is therefore an obvious choice as author of such a publication.
