An Introduction to Programming with

Mathematica

An Introduction to Programming with Mathematica

is de-

signed to introduce the

Mathematica

programming language

to a wide audience. Since the last edition of this book was

published, signiﬁcant changes have occurred in

Mathemat-

ica

and its use worldwide. Keeping pace with these changes,

this substantially larger, updated version includes new and

revised chapters on numerics, procedural, rule-based, and

front end programming, and gives signiﬁcant coverage to

the latest features up to, and including, version 5.1 of the

software.

Mathematica

notebooks, available from www.cambridge.org/

0521846781, contain examples, programs, and solutions to

exercises in the book. Additionally, material to supplement

later versions of the software will be made available. This is

the ideal text for all scientiﬁc students, researchers, and pro-

grammers wishing to deepen their understanding of

Math-

ematica,

or even those keen to program using an interac-

tive language that contains programming paradigms from

all major programming languages: procedural, functional,

recursive, rule-based, and object-oriented.
