Exploring Analytic Geometry with Mathematica

[Desca...@gmail.com]

For anyone interested in using Mathematica for 2D analytic geometry, a
full textbook entitled "Exploring Analytic Geometry with
Mathematica" (865 pages) is available as a free PDF file download from
http://www.descarta2d.com.

[Murray Eisenberg]

The textbook may be free, but the Mathematica notebooks are not!

I have no objection to anybody making money with Mathematica-based
materials, but I would certainly prefer knowing about costs up front.

The complete Mathematica source code for all the Descarta2D notebooks
is published in the free PDF file of the textbook (in Part VII,
Packages). The Mathematica source code for all the exercise answers is
provided in the free PDF file as well (in Part VIII, Explorations).

Alternatively, it is a significant time-saver to have the option to
purchase and download the notebook files directly, rather than cutting
them from the book's PDF file using Acrobat and pasting them into
Mathematica.

Hi Murray,

you forgot to say that there is the excellent
Geometrica Package

http://www.wolfram.com/products/applications/geometrica/

by Bruno Autin that work for 2D and 3D -- if one like to spend
money ..

Anyway the book looks fine and it would be better for the
reader if he understand the text and make the Mathematica
programming by itself.

Regards
Jens

The package files and notebook documentation for Descarta2D have been
upgraded and tested and are now fully compatible with Mathematica 6.
New (and earlier) versions are available for purchase at www.descarta2d.com.

The complete textbook PDF file (865 pages) is still available for
free.
