ABSTRACT
The software Mathematica has been used extensively by the authors to confirm answers in worked examples and in the problems at the end of chapters, and in generating graphs. Other symbolic computation systems such as Maple T M $ ^{TM} $ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315156576/49190045-e11a-4825-88bf-d327626f56ef/content/inline-math11_1.tif"/> , MATLAB T M $ ^{TM} $ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315156576/49190045-e11a-4825-88bf-d327626f56ef/content/inline-math11_2.tif"/> , etc., could also have been used since they are frequently part of many courses in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and the physical sciences. It is seen as a necessary training in the use of computers in these subjects.
