In the third edition of Mathematica in Action, award-winning writer Stan Wagon guide novice and veteran users together through a sophisticated tool Mathematica for mathematical exploration. All the Mathematica code is included on the CD, saving readers hours of typing. The cart is the author of nine books on mathematics, including A Course in Computational Number Theory, name of one of the top ten math books in 2000 by the American Library Association. He has written extensively on educational applications Mathematica, including books VisualDSolve: Visualizing Differential Equations with Mathematica, and Animating Calculus: Mathematica Notebooks for the Laboratory. From the review of second edition: "In so many glaring examples of Stan Wagon shows how features such as animation, 3-dimensional graphics and high-precision integer arithmetic can contribute to our understanding and enjoyment of mathematics." - Richard Walker, Mathematical Gazette "The bottom line is that Mathematica in Action is an outstanding book that contains many concrete examples of the use of Mathematica for the beginner, intermediate, and expert users." - Mark McClure, Mathematica in Education and Research iJournal
