The Mathematica Bundle: The Mathematica Programmer II
The Mathematica Programmer IIhas a fine pedigree. It was written by Roman E. Maeder, professor of computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and one of the originators of theMathematicasoftware. The volume is a companion toThe Mathematica Programmer, published by the same author in 1994....This book will be of great value to anybody interested in programming paradigms that go beyond traditional procedural languages such as Fortran,Basic, and C....Stunning colour pictures of all 75 uniform polyedra and all 59 stellated icosahedra are used to great effect when describing different methods of storing the properties of objects....Examples are all drawn from pure mathematics and computer science. Anyone with an interest in these subjects, or such popular topics as chaotic behaviour in the logistic map, fractals and solid geometry, will find many fascinating programming examples in this book that can be used as templates for further investigations.--Brian Cogan in SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING WORLD
