Abell M.L., Braselton J.P. The Mathematica Handbook

Academic Press, 1993. — 808 p.The Mathematica Handbook is intended to provide a convenient reference of all built-in Mathematica Version 2.0 objects to both beginning and advanced users of Mathematica alike. This book arose out of the need to have a convenient reference of all Mathematica commands and objects along with typical examples of them. In addition, The Mathematica Handbook contains commands and examples of those commands found in the packages contained in the Calculus (beginning on page 584), Statistics (beginning on page 610), and Numerical Math (beginning on page 714) folders (or directories). The commands in these sections are listed within each package, and the packages are listed alphabetically within each folder (or directory) as well. The end of The Handbook includes a list of references (on page 773) and an index (beginning on page 775). The Preface describes how to use the entries of The Handbook and then briefly discusses elementary rules of Mathematica syntax, defining functions, and using commands that are contained in the standard Mathematica packages Of course, appreciation must be expressed to those who assisted in this project. In particular, we would like to thank our editor, Charles Glaser, and production editor, Brian Miller, for providing valuable, timely, and pleasant feedback on our work. We would also like to thank the people at Wolfram Research, Inc., particularly Brad Horn, who has been most helpful during this endeavor, for the help they have provided this project. Finally, we would like to thank those close to us for their patience, kindness, and understanding throughout this project
