Wolfram's Mathematica is a comprehensive system that's an excellent choice for engineers, but it may seem overwhelming at first. There's also a lack of relevant published examples for civil engineering.
This free book aims to equip engineers with Mathematica skills as quickly as possible for everyday computations. It doesn't assume prior knowledge of Mathematica but teaches it through graded examples relevant to civil or structural engineering.
The book starts with setting up a headed calculation sheet using units and introducing the special notation of subscripted variables common to Eurocodes. It then delves into Mathematica's language for reinforced concrete design, beam design, slope stability and pile settlement analysis, soil information plotting, contour plan creation, 3D views and sections from Lidar or point cloud data, and finite element analysis for solid mechanics problems.
Next, it explores how to utilise the built-in data for weather and tides, as well as other resources available from Wolfram. Finally, it provides practical ways engineers can use Mathematica to enhance their work.
Each example in the book is fully worked out with the complete code shown. The code can be copied or modified for personal use.
The book is written in a Mathematica notebook format and is best read in Mathematica. However, a free one-month trial version of Mathematica can be downloaded, and it can also be read using the free Wolfram Player application or in the cloud, although some capabilities may be limited. Additionally, a PDF version is available for those who prefer to inspect it before investing in Mathematica.
