"Introduction to Computer Performance Analysis with Mathematica" is designed as a beginner's guide to computer performance analysis and assumes only a basic knowledge of computers and some mathematical proficiency. The mathematical aspects have been relegated to a Mathematica program disk, allowing readers to try out most of the techniques as they work their way through the book. Ideally suited for this self-tutoring task, the use of Mathematica offers valuable properties such as visualization system for functions and data and a modeling and data analysis environment. However, no prior experience of Mathematica is required and readers should benefit from this book even if they bypass the Mathematica exercises.
