Beschreibung

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book introduces Maple in a rather special way; namely, it shows how a computer algebra system most naturally fits into a mathematically oriented work environment. The intended audience is the mixed group of mathematicians, econometricians, engineers and other scientists, principally those who in their chosen discipline need to work with mathematical ideas and techniques. The book distinguishes itself from existing ones in the following ways: - It instructs the reader about the use of Maple by posing problems of a strictly mathematical nature. - It is intended not as a mere introduction to Maple, but also to show how Maple - and other computer algebra systems - may enrich our knowledge and deepen our understanding of mathematics. In that respect it focusses on mathematics rather than on Maple. In doing this it tries to convince scientists who are not naturally inclined to incorporate the computer into their daily work routine that a computer algebra system may very well enhance their theoretical work. 248 pp. Englisch.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This unusual introduction to Maple shows readers how Maple or any other computer algebra system fits naturally into a mathematically oriented work environment. Designed for mathematicians, engineers, econometricians, and other scientists, this book shows how computer algebra can enhance their theoretical work. A CD-ROM contains all the Maple worksheets presented in the book.

Críticas

"This book distinguishes itself... [the] reader learns how to use MAPLE® by posing problems of strictly mathematical nature, and―as a result―the reader gets insight into the practical and theoretical framework mathematics... Highly recommended."
