Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Essential Mathematica: With Applications to Mathematics and Physics, based on the
lecture notes of a course taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago to advanced
undergrad and graduate students, teaches how to use Mathematica to solve a wide variety
problems in mathematics and physics. It is illustrated with many detailed examples
that require the student to construct meticulous, step-by-step, easy to read Mathematica
programs. The first section, in which the reader learns how to use a variety of Mathematica
commands, avoids long discussions and overly sophisticated techniques. Its aim is
to provide the reader with Mathematica proficiency quickly and efficiently. The second
section covers a broad range of applications in physics, engineering and applied mathematics,
including Egyptian Fractions, Happy Numbers, Mersenne Numbers, Multibases, Quantum
Harmonic Oscillator, Quantum Square Potential, Van der Pol Oscillator, Electrostatics,
Motion of a Charged Particle in an Electromagnetic Field, Duffing Oscillator, Negative
and Complex Bases, Tautochrone Curves, Kepler's Laws, Foucault's Pendulum, Iterated
Function Systems, Public-Key Encryption, and Julia and Mandelbrot Sets. The first
part - examples, not long explanations. The second part-attractive application
