Delivers dozens of fully interactive examples for learning and implementation, constants and formulae can readily be altered and adapted for the user’s purposes.

New edition offers enlarged two-volume format suitable to courses in mechanics and electrodynamics, while offering dozens of new examples and a more rewarding interactive learning environment.

Notebooks for problem solving and learning.

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The new edition contains a lot of new material and examples … . It is shown how Mathematica can be used to support (or to replace) many of the usual ‘by-hand’ calculations and to study the results instantaneously by means of graphical representations. In particular, advantage is taken of many special functions and operations … which are available in Mathematica. The book contains many sample programs, in written form." (M. Plum, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006)
