Description:

This supplement is intended to teach the reader how to solve statics problems using Mathematica. It is closely coupled to the accompanying Statics text and works through many of the sample problems for each chapter in detail. While this supplement suggests ways to use Mathematica to enhance your understanding of statics and teach you efficient computational skills, you may browse the Mathematica manual and develop your own methods for solving problems using the software. The manual was created in Mathematica and demonstrates how quality technical documents can be created entirely using the software, The manual consists of 11 chapters. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to mathematcia that…
