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)
