Complex Analysis with MATHEMATICA}} [Hardcover]

This book presents a way of learning complex analysis, using Mathematica. Includes CD with electronic version of the book.Complex analysis has a rich, fascinating structure as well myriad applications in, for instance, finance or physics. This book exploits MATHEMATICA® for its power to illustrate, calculate or function as an investigative tool. The CD contains the entire manuscript in MATHEMATICA® enabling readers to use or modify any of the code featured in the book. The book can be used as a textbook for several different styles of course in complex analysis to be taken by mathematicians, physicists, engineers or anyone who needs to understand this important subject.Complex analysis has a rich, fascinating structure as well myriad applications in, for instance, finance or physics.

The book can be used as a textbook for several different styles of course in complex analysis to be taken by mathematicians, physicists, engineers or anyone who needs to understand this important subject.Complex Analysis with Mathematica offers a new way of learning and teaching a subject that lies at the heart of many areas of pure and applied mathematics, physics, engineering and even art. This book offers teachers and students an opportunity to learn about complex numbers in a state-of-the-art computational environment. The innovative approach also offers insights into many areas too often neglected in a student treatment, including complex chaos and mathematical art. Thus readers can also use the book for self-study and for enrichment. The use of Mathematica enables the author to cover several topics that are often absent from a traditional treatment. Students are also led, optionally, into cubic or quartic equationslã'
