Book/diskette combination that deals solely with
Mathematica graphics. Offers step-by-step instruction on how to create computer graphics with
Mathematica. Contains a vast range of carefully chosen and organized examples of
Mathematica graphics. Also includes 32 pages of full-color demonstrations.
The available electronic supplement provides functions that include the plotting of surfaces and contours over random data sets, labelling of contour lines, plotting contours subject to a constraint, smoothing contours, plotting field lines, a collection of geometric functions in two and three dimensions, as well as the ubiquitous fractal plot. Some of the functions require
MathLink binaries, which are available in source code and are compiled for Macintosh (classic) and Windows computers.
