The first edition of Computer Simulations with Mathematica drew on the capabilities of Mathematica to prototype algorithms & to write code in a variety of programming styles, choosing the appropriate style for the problem at hand.

Today, running very large simulations in Mathematics is quite feasible, within an order of magnitude of complied C and Fortran code. This new edition takes advantage of these features & includes the following significant additions:

Java has become a commonly used tool for working with scientific applications. This book fully incorporates Java programs...

Essentials of Programming in Mathematica(r) provides an introduction suitable for readers with little or no background in the language as well as for those with some experience using programs such as C, Java, or Perl. The author, an established authority on Mathematica(r) programming, has written an example-driven text that covers the language from first principles, as well as including material from natural language processing, bioinformatics, graphs and networks, signal analysis, geometry, computer science, and many other applied areas. The book is appropriate for self-study or as a text...
