<P>Mathematica is today's most advanced technical computing system. It features a rich programming environment, two-and three-dimensional graphics capabilities and hundreds of sophisticated, powerful programming and mathematical functions using state-of-the-art algorithms. Combined with a user-friendly interface, and a complete mathematical typesetting system, Mathematica offers an intuitive easy-to-handle environment of great power and utility.</P>
<P>"The Mathematica GuideBook for Symbolics" (code and text fully tailored for Mathematica 5.1) deals with Mathematica's symbolic mathematical capabilities. Structural and mathematical operations on single and systems of polynomials are fundamental to many symbolic calculations and they are covered in considerable detail. The solution of equations and differential equations, as well as the classical calculus operations (differentiation, integration, summation, series expansion, limits) are exhaustively treated. Generalized functions and their uses are discussed. In addition, this volume discusses and employs the classical orthogonal polynomials and special functions of mathematical physics. To demonstrate the symbolic mathematics power, a large variety of problems from mathematics and phyics are discussed. </P>

<P>The Mathematica GuideBook for Symbolics (text and code fully tailored with Mathematica 5.1) is the fourth volume of the Mathematica GuideBooks, a comprehensive and detailed print and electronic reference for Mathematica. It introduces the reader to symbolic computations using Mathematica and enables readers to understand, perform, and optimize sophisticated symbolic computations. It includes detailed discussions of the most frequent symbolic operations such as equation solving, differentiation, series expansion, and integration with more than 200 fully worked examples from physics, mathematics and computer graphics. Functions from algebra and analysis, as well as orthogonal polynomials and special functions of mathematical physics are also discussed. An indispensable resource for practitioners, professionals, and researchers in mathematics, computer science, engineering and other scientific disciplines, The Mathematica GuideBook for Symbolics will find a natural place on the bookshelf as an essential reference work. The Guidebooks in general give the user a deeper understanding of Mathematica by instructive implementations, explanations, and examples from a range of disciplines at varying levels of complexity. The four GuideBooks contain about 25,000 Mathematica inputs, representing more that 75,000 lines of commented Mathematica code. They also have more than 4,500 graphics, 150 animations, 11,000 references and 1,000 exercises. </P>
