From the reviews:
"The numerics volume has two chapters. . offer a treasure trove of identities and formulas. . take the reader on a thrilling tour of the features of Mathematica. I am impressed with the breadth and depth of Trott's coverage and his profound understanding of the strengths and limitations of Mathematica. . includes a multiplatform DVD-ROM which allows the reader to experiment with code and view graphics in color. . an invaluable resource and classic reference for scientists who use Mathematica in teaching or research." (Willy Hereman, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (1), 2007)
