Product Description
Review
Praise for the 2nd Edition:
"...Run, do not walk, to get your copy."
-Robert M. Lurie, MIT for iJournals.net
"Each [chapter] is a gem of clarity and concise application, but space limits the praise. If the book has any failings, it is in leaving the reader begging for more."
-Scientific Computing and Instrumentation
"This is an excellent reference book that I would recommend to any one who is thinking about becoming (or already is) a serious user of Mathematica...I am particularly impressed by the organization which allows a mathematician to approach Mathematica by specific mathematical topics rather than using the organization of Wolfram's Mathematica Book. In addition, I find that the text is clearly written and the examples are well-chosen."
- Bill Emerson, Metropolitan State University

Absolutely Great Mathematica Textbook,
By
This review is from: Mathematica Navigator: Graphics and Methods of Applied Mathematics (book plus CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
While it is unlikely that there is a pure Mathematica course anywhere, the textbook for it already exists!Mathematica Navigator by Heikki Ruskeepaa is an absolutely wonderful book that teaches you everything you ever wanted to know about Mathematica. Out of about 10 books I've used, this book is THE BEST on Mathematica out there.

Got Mathematica? Buy This Book NOW!,

This review is from: Mathematica Navigator: Mathematics, Statistics, and Graphics (Paperback)
The positive reviews were right on the money, this book is the best! It allowed me to start using Mathematica with ease, compared to the many hours of past frustration while working on optimizations. I fought endlessly, struggling to decipher the software's baroque navigation, cryptic errors, hostility to the user which borders on abuse - but now Mathematica and I are becoming great friends thanks to Heikki Ruskeepaa's wonderful tome. THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS BOOK!!!Of particular benefit is the guidance s/he provides for best practices in formatting cells to avoid common, productivity-killing pitfalls.
