Features: This book is an experimental mathematics textbook written in line with the spirit of the Ministry of Education's "Reform Plan for Teaching Content and Curriculum Systems in Higher Education Towards the 21st Century." It serves as a supplementary textbook for learning "Advanced Mathematics" (or Calculus), "Linear Algebra and Linear Programming," and "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics." It can also be used as a textbook for the course "Fundamentals of Mathematical Experimentation." Its distinctive feature lies in introducing how to utilize computational software to assist in learning these fundamental mathematics courses. Based on the study of these mathematical courses, readers can, through this textbook, perceive classic mathematical theories with modern computing technology and understand the modern computational methods for classic mathematical calculations. The friendly interfaces, quick and convenient calculations, and graphical functions demonstrated by various software in different chapters will eliminate students' long-standing fear of mathematics, making students from different disciplines appreciate and excel in mathematics, thereby mastering the fundamental mathematical knowledge needed for their future careers. This book is aimed at first- and second-year students in university junior colleges. It is also suitable as supplementary reading material for students with personal computers who wish to preview the courses "Advanced Mathematics" (or Calculus), "Linear Algebra and Linear Programming," and "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" offered in universities.
