Book Description
This book gives Mathematica users a comprehensive source for learning how to program in Mathematica. It also describes a number of advanced programming techniques that are largely undocumented in eixisting books. These techniques go beyond the mere mechanics of programming and cover topics such as robustness, seamless integration with the rest of the system, and performance tuning. At the same time, the book does not skip over the fundamentals, so it is accessible to persons who are just getting their feet wet in Mathematica programming. Synopsis
Mathematica is a feature-rich, high-level programming language which has historically been used by engineers. This book unpacks Mathematica for programmers, building insights into programming style via real world syntax, real world examples, and extensive parallels to other languages. From the Back Cover
A step-by=step programmer's guide to harnessing all the power of Mathematica Now you cna dramatically improve your programming abilities with this comprehensive, hands-on guide to the feature-rich, fully interactive Mathematica programming language. Power Programming with Mathematica: The Kernel offers you a self-contained overview of this ghigh-level language, featuring real-world programming tips and techniques-plus an accompanying disk with an array of advanced programming examples, utilities, and supported exercises. This unique, step-by-step programming tool includes: New kernel features of Mathematica version 3; Expert coverage of the fundamental principles underlying Mathematica, and how to master them; Extensive parallels to other languages that most programmers are familiar with, such as Fortran, C, and Lisp; Detailed explanations of advanced topics like debugging, performance tuning, robustness, and code integration; solid information and tips for working with athLink.
