دانلود کتاب Programming in Mathematica - 3rd Ed.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

The programming examples in this book serve two purposes. First, they help explain concepts and show how things fit together to make up complete programs. Second, they are designed to be more than mere toy programs and should prove useful in their own right. In developing an example we always use the same method. We start out with a few commands or definitions that could be entered directly into Mathematica. We then extract the parts of the computation that are the same regardless of the input and define some functions or procedures that automate these steps. Then we apply standard techniques to these functions to make them into a package, adding documentation and certain programming constructs that make such a package easier to use. The goal is to write a program that would be useful not only to its author, who knows how it works, but also to other people. Finally, we might add a few more functions to the package or look at alternatives to what we did so far. In Chapter 1 these steps are described in full detail. Later on, when we concentrate on other aspects, we assume that you are familiar with these basic concepts and we shall not mention all the steps in detail. All the programs developed in this book are either part of the standard Mathematica distribution from Wolfram Research, or they are available free in electronic form. This book is no replacement for the Mathematica manual "The Mathematica Book" [40]. I do not expect that you have read everything in the Mathematica book, but you should have some basic experience with Mathematica before reading this book. Single commands are usually used without detailed explanation. You can use the index in the Mathematica book to look up a description of a command that you did not know about. We also give references to places in the Mathematica book where you can find explanations of concepts that are particularly relevant to a topic in this book. You should always tum to the Mathematica book for explanations of features that are assumed known here, but that you have not used yet. The place to look for an explanation of all variants, defaults, or options for a particular command is the reference guide in the back of the Mathematica book. All this information is also available in electronic form and can be accessed through the Help Browser of Mathematica.
