Mathematical Methods in Physics and Engineering with Mathematica

Cap, Ferdinand F.

"It is a whirlwind review of mathematical methods used to solve linear and nonlinear boundary-value problems. The best aspect of this book is its immersion in Mathematica, which is treated as a full partner in presenting the material. …A list of codes…and an appendix that lists all of the Mathematica commands used in the text are nice touches. …It will appeal to those who are looking for new perspectives, especially with Mathematica, on familiar topics that they learned elsewhere. It could also be used as a supplementary text in a course which uses an older, standard textbook."-SIAM Review, Dean Duffy, Annapolis, Maryland"This book is a good example of how to explain and how to use the Mathematica functions and add-on packages for solving various physical and engineering problems from the simplest to the most difficult ones. It is a new type of book, which provides an accessible guide for doing computer aided mathematics."-Zentralblatt MATH 1044
