A new book on mathematical computing with Mathematica, co-
authored by one of the present bloggers, has been published by
Springer. It is a counterpart to a corresponding book with
Maple. Here is a synopsis, taken from the book’s Springer
website: Thirty years ago, mathematical computation was
difficult to perform and thus used sparingly. However,
mathematical computation has become far more accessible due to
the emergence of the personal computer, the discovery of fiber-
optics and the consequent development of the modern internet,
and the creation of Maple™, Mathematica®, and Matlab®. An
Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computing: With Mathematica®
looks beyond teaching the syntax and semantics of Mathematica
and similar programs, and focuses on why they are necessary
tools for anyone who engages in mathematics. It is an essential
read for mathematicians, mathematics educators, computer
scientists, engineers, scientists, and anyone who wishes to
expand their knowledge of mathematics. This volume will also
