Produktbeschreibung

Meeting the needs of scientists - whether mathematicians, physicists, chemists or engineers --in terms of symbolic computation, this book allows them to quickly locate the method they require for the precise problem they are adressing. It requires no prior experience of symbolic computation, nor specialized mathematical knowledge, and provides quick access to the practical use of symbolic computation software. The organization of the book in mutually independent chapters, each focusing on a specific topic, allows the user to select what is of interest without necessarily reading everything and the whole is supplemented by a detailed table of contents and index,.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "... Thus the book is designed for students, teachers, engineers and researchers aiming to master the Maple computer algebra system at an introductory level. The book achieves this aim. The coverage of material is quite extensive. ... I worked through selected parts of the book attempting to view the instructions from a beginner's perspective. The instructions are clear and the examples are relevant for most of the mathematics covered at undergraduate level by engineers and scientists. There are adequate warnings along the way as to where things might go wrong. This feature is a particularly useful aid to the beginner. I believe I would have found this book very helpful when I first started using Maple. ... The structure of the book allows the beginner to locate easily practical helpful information to deal with the problem at hand. ... ...I would recommend that some copies be placed in your computer laboratory to be on hand when students are working alone, as I am sure they will find it most helpful." Australian Mathematical Gazette, Volume 29, Number 1 "[...] There are several ways to make yourself familiar with a computer algebra system. This book provides a useful and easy way to get acquainted with MAPLE V. This is an excellent book written about MAPLE V. We can recommend this book to mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engineers, and to all who aren't loath to use computer in computations." Acta Math.Scient. 68, p. 494,.

"I do not like manuals. ... I prefer introductions like this one: After some unavoidable preliminaries, numerous examples (arranged by topic, not by command name) show how Maple can be used to solve problems, and (very important!) also what one can do wrong. Normally, these samples can easily be modified, and will (after some trial and error, maybe) soon lead to a solution of one's problem. - Those who think like me will find this book very helpful."
