Mathematica for Physics (2nd Edition)

An appropriate supplement for any undergraduate or graduate course in physics, Mathematica¨ for Physics uses the power of Mathematica¨ to visualize and display physics concepts and generate numerical and graphical solutions to physics problems. Throughout the book, the complexity of both physics and Mathematica¨ is systematically extended to broaden the range of problems that can be solved. Booknews This textbook illustrates how to apply the computer algebra program Mathematica to solve problems in physics. The first half of each chapter provides problems with solutions for undergraduate students, while the second half is intended for graduate students. The second edition reflects changes in version 3.0, and adds three chapters on nonlinear systems and chaos, discrete systems, and chaos and orbiting bodies. Annotation c.
