MuPAD tutorial

En savoir plus sur le livre

This book introduces the software package MuPAD, a computer algebra system developed at the University of Paderborn, Germany. It targets mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, natural scientists, and anyone needing mathematical computations for education or professional purposes. The content is designed for anyone interested in leveraging the capabilities of a modern computer algebra package. There are two primary ways to utilize a computer algebra system. First, users can interactively access the system's mathematical knowledge by calling functions to perform tasks such as computing symbolic integrals or generating and inverting matrices. Chapters 2 through 15 focus on this interactive use of MuPAD. The second approach involves using MuPAD's programming language to enhance the system by creating custom algorithms as procedures, which is beneficial for specialized applications lacking appropriate system functions. Chapters 16 through 18 serve as an introduction to programming in MuPAD. While the book can be read linearly from start to finish, alternative approaches to navigation are encouraged for a more tailored learning experience.
