PREFACE
puter algebra system (CAS) not only has the number \crunching" and
plotting capability of puting languages such as Fortran and C,
but also allows one to perform the symbolic manipulations and derivations
required in most mathematically based science and engineering courses. To
introduce students in these disciplines to CAS-based mathematical modeling
putation, the authors have previously developed and classroom tested
the puter Algebra Recipes: A Gourmet's Guide to the Mathematical
Models of Science [EM01] based on the Maple CAS. Judging by course evalua-
tions and reader feedback, the response to this book and puter
