An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language


Book Description

The Wolfram Language represents a major advance in programming languages that makes leading-edge computation accessible to everyone. Unique in its approach of building in vast knowledge and automation, the Wolfram Language scales from a single line of easy-to-understand interactive code to million-line production systems. This book provides an elementary introduction to the Wolfram Language and modern computational thinking. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming, and is suitable for both technical and non-technical college and high-school students, as well as anyone with an interest in the latest technology and its practical application.




Programming with Mathematica®


Book Description

This practical, example-driven introduction teaches the foundations of the Mathematica language so it can be applied to solving concrete problems.




Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica


Book Description

For more than 25 years, Mathematica has been the principal computation environment for millions of innovators, educators, students, and others around the world. This book is an introduction to Mathematica. The goal is to provide a hands-on experience introducing the breadth of Mathematica with a focus on ease of use. Readers get detailed instruction with examples for interactive learning and end-of-chapter exercises. Each chapter also contains authors' tips from their combined 50+ years of Mathematica use.




A New Kind of Science


Book Description

This work presents a series of dramatic discoveries never before made public. Starting from a collection of simple computer experiments---illustrated in the book by striking computer graphics---Wolfram shows how their unexpected results force a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe. Wolfram uses his approach to tackle a remarkable array of fundamental problems in science: from the origin of the Second Law of thermodynamics, to the development of complexity in biology, the computational limitations of mathematics, the possibility of a truly fundamental theory of physics, and the interplay between free will and determinism.




The Student's Introduction to Mathematica and the Wolfram Language


Book Description

The unique feature of this compact student's introduction to Mathematica® and the Wolfram LanguageTM is that the order of the material closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum. As a result, it provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica® software program most useful to students. Used as a supplementary text, it will help bridge the gap between Mathematica® and the mathematics in the course, and will serve as an excellent tutorial for former students. There have been significant changes to Mathematica® since the second edition, and all chapters have now been updated to account for new features in the software, including natural language queries and the vast stores of real-world data that are now integrated through the cloud. This third edition also includes many new exercises and a chapter on 3D printing that showcases the new computational geometry capabilities that will equip readers to print in 3D.




The MATHEMATICA ® Book, Version 3


Book Description

With over a million users around the world, the Mathematica ® software system created by Stephen Wolfram has defined the direction of technical computing for nearly a decade. With its major new document and computer language technology, the new version, Mathematica 3.0 takes the top-power capabilities of Mathematica and make them accessible to a vastly broader audience. This book presents this revolutionary new version of Mathematica. The Mathematica Book is a must-have purchase for anyone who wants to understand the revolutionary opportunities in science, technology, business and education made possible by Mathematica 3.0. This encompasses a broad audience of scientists and mathematicians; engineers; computer professionals; quantitative financial analysts; medical researchers; and students at high-school, college and graduate levels. Written by the creator of the system, The Mathematica Book includes both a tutorial introduction and complete reference information, and contains a comprehensive description of how to take advantage of Mathematica's ability to solve myriad technical computing problems and its powerful graphical and typesetting capabilities. Like previous editions, the book is sure to be found well-thumbed on the desks of many technical professionals and students around the world.




Introduction to Machine Learning


Book Description

With the use of machine learning (ML), which is a form of artificial intelligence (AI), software programmers may predict outcomes more accurately without having to be explicitly instructed to do so. In order to forecast new output values, machine learning algorithms use historical data as input. Machine learning is frequently used in recommendation engines. Business process automation (BPA), predictive maintenance, spam filtering, malware threat detection, and fraud detection are a few additional common uses. Machine learning is significant because it aids in the development of new goods and provides businesses with a picture of trends in consumer behavior and operational business patterns. For many businesses, machine learning has emerged as a key competitive differentiation. The fundamental methods of machine learning are covered in the current book.




The Student's Introduction to MATHEMATICA ®


Book Description

The unique feature of this compact student's introduction is that it presents concepts in an order that closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum, rather than structure the book along features of the software. As a result, the book provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica software program most useful to students. The second edition of this well loved book is completely rewritten for Mathematica 6 including coverage of the new dynamic interface elements, several hundred exercises and a new chapter on programming. This book can be used in a variety of courses, from precalculus to linear algebra. Used as a supplementary text it will aid in bridging the gap between the mathematics in the course and Mathematica. In addition to its course use, this book will serve as an excellent tutorial for those wishing to learn Mathematica and brush up on their mathematics at the same time.




Calculus Using Mathematica


Book Description

Calculus Using Mathematica: Scientific Projects and Mathematical Background is a companion to the core text, Calculus Using Mathematica. The book contains projects that illustrate applications of calculus to a variety of practical situations. The text consists of 14 chapters of various projects on how to apply the concepts and methodologies of calculus. Chapters are devoted to epidemiological applications; log and exponential functions in science; applications to mechanics, optics, economics, and ecology. Applications of linear differential equations; forced linear equations; differential equations from vector geometry; and to chemical reactions are presented as well. College students of calculus will find this book very helpful.
