The Joy of Methematica software is a separate program for the Macintosh which uses menus and dialogue boxes for typing commands.;This book teaches how to use the Joy of Mathematica software program. It is both a manual for the Joy software and an introduction to Mathematica and its uses in mathematics. It shows how to explore the mathematics commonly found in the first two years of calculus, as well as in linear algebra and precalculus, and in mathematics, science and engineering courses. The book shows how the Joy software solves problems in ways that reveal the extent of Mathematica's abilities and that are interesting in their own right.
