Mathematica Cookbook helps you master the application's core principles by walking you through real-world problems. Ideal for browsing, this book includes recipes for working with numerics, data structures, algebraic equations, calculus, and statistics. You'll also venture into exotic territory with recipes for data visualization using 2D and 3D graphic tools, image processing, and music. Although Mathematica 7 is a highly advanced computational platform, the recipes in this book make it accessible to everyone -- whether you're working on high school algebra, simple graphs, PhD-level computation, financial analysis, or advanced engineering models.

Presents a collection of detailed code recipes that breaks down everyday XSLT problems into manageable chunks. This work enables you learn how to transform XML documents into PDF files, SVG files, and HTML documents.

Critical for converting XML documents, XSLT is versatile but can be complex. This Cookbook offers hundreds of solutions to common challenges faced by XSLT developers. The recipes cover a wide range of topics, from simple string manipulation and mathematical processing to more advanced subjects like extending XSLT, testing and debugging stylesheets, and creating graphics with SVG. Each recipe presents a problem and its solution, explaining the techniques and choices involved, often providing alternate solutions and discussing convenience and performance. Key topics include string manipulation, date and time handling, efficient tree manipulation, XML to plain text conversions, and generating HTML. It also addresses creating charts with SVG, generating C code, processing Visio documents, and working with XML Topic Maps (XTM). Developers can learn how to create SOAP documentation from WSDL, extend XSLT with additional functions, and debug stylesheets effectively. This Cookbook serves as an ideal resource for both beginners learning XSLT's template-based logic through examples and experienced developers seeking reusable recipes. With various approaches to transformation, the Cookbook emphasizes the importance of understanding XSLT's intricacies, making it a unique solution-oriented guide among available resources.
