Foreword.- Preface.- About Mathematica.- First Steps to Mathematica.- Basic Steps to Mathematica.- Sorting Algorithms.- Functions.- Ordinary Differential Equations.- Pi Formulas.- Optimization of Trajectories.- Miscellany.- References.- Index

Starting with an introduction to the numerous features of Mathematica®, this book continues with more complex material. It provides the reader with lots of examples and illustrations of how the benefits of Mathematica® can be used.

Composed of eleven chapters, it includes the following:

• A chapter on several sorting algorithms
• Functions (planar and solid) with many interesting examples
• Ordinary differential equations
• Advantages of Mathematica® dealing with the Pi number
• The power of Mathematica® working with optimal control problems

Introduction to Mathematica® with Applications will appeal to researchers, professors and students requiring a computational tool.
