Hundreds of novel and innovative computer algebra "recipes" will
enable readers starting at the second year undergraduate level to
easily and rapidly solve and explore most problems they encounter
in their classical mechanics studies. While the aim is not to try
and teach the fundamentals of the subject, the recipes are
organized to correlate with topics found in standard classical
mechanics texts.
Using the powerful computer algebra system MAPLE (Release 8) ---
no prior knowledge of MAPLE is presumed --- the relevant command
structures are explained on a need-to-know basis as the recipes are
developed. This is a self-contained and standalone text, similar
only in style and format to Computer Algebra Recipes: A Gourmet's
Guide to the Mathematical Models of Science, ISBN 0-387-95148-2,
Springer New York. The computer algebra recipes are introduced in
the context of interesting tales, a teaching approach that has been
successfully classroom tested by the authors. For the reader's
convenience, all recipes have been placed on a Windows Platform
CD-ROM that comes with the book; MAC and UNIX systems are also
compatible. The CD-ROM also includes computer algebra solutions to
hundreds of problems.
This new problem-solving guide can serve in a variety of ways:
for use in the classroom or self-study, for reference, or as a text
for an on-line course. Science professionals, engineers who need to
quickly solve complex classical mechanics problems relevant to
their work, and instructors seeking a modern approach to teaching
this venerable subject will find this work an invaluable
resource.
