* Contains computer algebra worksheets or "recipes" designed using MAPLE (System 10); no prior knowledge of MAPLE is assumed * Effective computational science t

Computer algebra systems allow students to work on mathematical models more efficiently than in the case of pencil and paper. The use of such systems also leads

* Uses a pedagogical approach that makes a mathematically challenging subject easier and more fun to learn * Self-contained and standalone text that may be used

This is a standalone, but the recipes are correlated with topics found in standard texts, and make use of MAPLE (Release 7). As a reference text, or self-study

This book presents a large number of computer algebra worksheets or "recipes" that have been designed using MAPLE to provide tools for problem solving and to st
