Part II. Calculations and Calculus with Mathematica

The second part contains a more detailed introduction to Mathematica and how to use it to "do mathematics." The input/output paradigm is stressed as the reader learns how to use Mathematica as a calculator. The Table function is discussed. Mathematica output can be used as subsequent input by assigning the output a name, and then referring to it by that name just as one might do using paper and pencil. The notion of assignments are important for the successful use of any mathematics software to a problem that requires more than one calculation. This idea is illustrated several times using familiar examples from calculus. Graphing examples introduce plotting procedures.
