Abstract
Now that we have become familiar with the essentials of Mathematica, let us apply our knowledge to solving some physical problems. We shall concentrate on specific examples and introduce new techniques as we progress. Most of the examples are based on the author’s book, Mathematical Methods [Hass 00], which we abbreviate as MM, and refer the reader—in the margins—to its appropriate sections and pages for further details and deeper understanding. Although a familiarity with the concepts in that book is helpful for a fuller understanding of our examples, no prior knowledge of those concepts is essential for the Mathematica applications.
