* Announcing *
THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO MATHEMATICA V3
by Jerry Glynn and Theodore W. Gray
CD-ROM Electronic Edition
This book is a major revision of the popular Beginner's Guide to
Mathematica
Version 2. Written by a well known mathematics teacher and the
principle
architect of the Mathematica Notebook front end, it is an ideal first
book for
anyone getting started with Mathematica, or interested in finding out
more about
it. The book also contains advanced chapters on the new features in
Version 3,
including complete listings of front end programming functions. The
electronic
edition allows you to see graphics in full color, see animations move,
and
listen to sounds. If the reader has Mathematica, the examples in the
book
can be modified and evalated, allowing experimentation without the
hassle of
re-typing input from a printed book. In all there are 70 chapters and
339 pages.

CD-ROM
form is available immediately from MathWare at the web site above.
