The Mathematica GuideBook

Has anyone read the new Michael Trott books?

  • Michael Trott, The Mathematica GuideBook for programming
  • Michael Trott, The Mathematica GuideBook for graphics
This book represents 11 years of work from Michael Trott. With about 1300 pages, it provides a wealth of information about math, graphics and Mathematica. If you have used Mathematica for a few months, then reading this book will accelerate your understanding of what can be done with Mathematica. One can always learn from others and this book is an incredible gift from Michael to all mathematica users. One can read between the lines how Michael's uses of the program has shaped Mathematica over the years. This book justifies the invention of the expression "Trottiens'Graphics". It is heavy, it is costly, but it is a requirement if you want to understand what can be done with Mathematica. Reading it, I felt that I was learning one new technique every page. Thank you Michael Trott.

Roman Maeder's books

  • Roman Maeder, ''Programming in Mathematica'', Addison-Wesley, 1991
  • Roman Maeder, ''The Mathematica programmer'', Academic Press, 1994
  • Roman Maeder, ''The Mathematica programmer II'', Academic Press, 1996
  • Roman Maeder, ''Computer science with Mathematica'', Cambridge, 2000

Roman Maeder was initially involved in the development of Mathematica. Thanks to this position, he was able in his books not only to teach Mathematica from basic to advanced level and from theoretical aspects to practical uses, but also to lead readers to a better understanding of its underlying philosophy and of its spirit. More specifically, he gives evidence Mathematica would be a good choice to teach a whole curriculum in computer science and even for substantial parts of mathematical modelling or scientific computing.

Mathematica : calcul formel et programmation symbolique pour l'informatique scientifique

  • Rémi Barrère, ''Mathematica'', Vuibert, 2002.

D'abord un bouquin classique d'apprentissage et d'applications. Ensuite, et surtout, un lien original et direct entre les problèmes concrets du programmeur et les théories qui y répondent, présentées de manière exotérique .
