Description

Combines a traditional approach with the symbolic capabilities of Mathematica to explain the classical theory of curves and surfaces. Explains how to define and compute standard geometric functions and explores how to apply techniques from analysis. Contains over 300 exercises and examples to demonstrate concepts. Compatible with Mathematica 3.0.
