A Mathematica Primer for Physicists
A Mathematica Primer for Physicists by Jim Napolitano offers an insightful overview for those eager to use Mathematica efficiently for basic physics problems. The author introduces all the key techniques and demonstrates their application through common examples. Chapters cover elementary mathematics concepts, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, vectors and matrices, data analysis, random number generation, animation, and visualisation.
"…an excellent text for either a short course or self-study… Professor Napolitano has figured out what students really need, and found a way to deliver it… I have found everything he writes to be worthy of my serious attention…"
—Peter D. Persans, Professor of Physics and Director, Center for Integrated Electronics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
- Written in an appealing, conversational style
- Presents important concepts within the framework of Mathematics
- Gives examples from frequently encountered physics problems
- Explains problem-solving in a step-by-step fashion
Jim Napolitano is a professor and chair in the Department of Physics at Temple University. He has authored other textbooks, including co-authoring with Alistair Rae Quantum Mechanics, Sixth Edition, also published by Taylor & Francis / CRC Press.
