Description

A valuable text for introductory course work in computer science for mathematicians, scientists and engineers. This book demonstrates that Mathematica is a powerful tool in the study of algorithms, allowing the behavior of each algorithm to be studied separately. Examples from mathematics, all types of science, and engineering are included, as well as computer science topics. This book is also useful for Mathematica users at all levels.
