Features: Mathematica is a world-famous mathematical software, and the new Mathematica 5 has many significant improvements and more complete functions. This book explains the basic functions of Mathematica 5, such as symbolic computation, plotting, high-precision calculation, and programming, through a large number of carefully selected examples. It also introduces its applications in advanced mathematics, linear algebra, differential equations, probability and statistics, computational methods, operations research, and mathematical modeling. The author of this book has many years of experience in teaching and developing Mathematica, and through examples developed by the author, it provides detailed guidance on how to write and use your own packages. Most of the exercises in the book come from widely used mathematical textbooks today, demonstrating the practicality of the software. The readers of this book include undergraduates, graduate students, university teachers, researchers, engineering technicians, and other math enthusiasts. This book can be used as a textbook for mathematical software courses and also as a general supplementary textbook for learning university mathematics. For scientists and engineers who need to perform derivations and calculations, this book is also a practical introductory textbook that allows for both comprehensive and in-depth learning as well as on-the-go reference.
