This engaging book--written in the form of a conversation between a well-known Mathematica expert and a prominent mathematics educator--gives readers a better understanding of Mathematica and its application to real world problems. The authors use intriguing examples and plain language to explain basic and advanced Mathematica concepts and techniques. A special feature is a CD/ROM disk included with each copy of the book. The disk contains an unabridged electronic version of the book in Mathematica notebook format that combines text, graphics, mathematical expressions, and animations. This hybrid audio/data CD is compatible with any audio CD player and with Macintosh, MS-DOS, and UNIX CD/ROM drives. 0201528096B04062001

This book will show you exactly what to expect when you use Derive on your computer. Filled with illustrated examples and keystroke guides. A mathematical question is stated then keystrokes to answer the questions are shown along with the resulting images from the monitor. This allows you to choose from a variety of topics and carry out, for yourself, the actions on the computer. As soon as the mechanics are comfortable you are encouraged to extend the problem or charge off in a different direction. This book was originally written for Derive for DOS. Although the software has continued to be updated, Derive users may still find the information in this book valuable.
