Mathematica in Action

This work is designed both as a guide to the extraordinary capabilities of Mathematica as well as a detailed tour of modern mathematics by one of its leading expositors, Stan Wagon. Ideal for teachers, researchers, and mathematica enthusiasts, "Mathematica in Action" leads the reader on a guided tour of elementary calculus, high-precision number theory, fractals, turtle geometry, and numerical analysis. It includes diskette with "Mathematica" programs for DOS/Windows, Macintosh and UNIX computer platforms.
