The Mathematica Graphics Guidebook

This book is a reference manual for Mathematica(R) graphics. It is the definitive document for the syntax and semantics of the functions, primitives, directives, and options for producing graphics. It is filled with examples illustrating the graphics capabilities of the software and how they really work. It also describes many of the algorithms that Mathematica(R) uses so students can better understand how to use the software to achieve a desired effect.Features of the book * Provides a hands-on tutorial for using Mathematica graphics * Contains detailed reference information for all of Mathematica's built-in graphics functions * Describes key Mathematica algorithms to show how the software can be used more effectively to produce desired results * Includes a 3.5 DOS disk that allows readers to reproduce examples from the book. This disk is readable on Macintosh, DOS, and Windows-based computers as well as on workstations.The contents of the disk may also be downloaded for Macintosh, Unix, and PC,. Please read the file readme.mathguide for instructions pertaining to these files. The techniques and examples presented in The Mathematica(R) Graphics Guidebook may be used with any computer system running Mathematica(R) Version 2. 0201532808B04062001
