Mathematica Beyond Mathematics. The Wolfram Language in the Real World

Although many books have been written about Mathematica, very few of them cover the new
functionality added to the most recent versions of the program. This thoroughly revised second
edition of Mathematica Beyond Mathematics: The Wolfram Language in the Real World
introduces the new features using real-world examples based on the experience of the author as
a consultant and Wolfram certified instructor. The examples strike a balance between relevance
and difficulty in terms of Mathematica syntax, allowing readers to incrementally build up their
Mathematica skills as they go through the chapters While reading this book, you will also learn
more about the Wolfram Language and how to use it to solve a wide variety of problems.
The author raises questions from a wide range of topics and answers them by taking full advantage of Mathematica’s latest features. For example: What sources of energy does the world really
use? Are our cities getting warmer? Is the novel El Quixote written in Pi? Is it possible to reliably
date the Earth using radioactive isotopes? How can we find planets outside our solar system?
How can we model epidemics, earthquakes and other natural phenomena? What is the best way
to compare organisms genetically?
