Hello... Can anyone recommend some books which provide intermediate to advanced help on "how to solve a problem" using Mathematica? I have read much of the non-appendix part of Wolfram, plus Maeder's _Programming in Mathematica_ (excellent), so I have a fair grasp of how the system works, but I'm looking for a something whose approach is, "here's a non-trivial question... and here's some hints on how Mathematica can be most efficiently applied to it." My level/subject is upper-undergrad math, and I'm looking more for a comprehensive overview than any specific subject coverage, though any challenging stuff is welcome! I've flicked through _Mastering Mathematica_ and considered _Mathematica Navigator_... not sure though. Are there more appropriate options? Thanks, -- Tom
