This book introduces the basic concepts of MathLink and explains how to extend
Mathematica using MathLink. Miyaji and Abbott show how to write Mathlink
programs and how to apply Mathlink in a variety of situations. MathLink
comprises a simple and powerful way to write programs that communicate with
Mathematica and offers access to a wide range of network resources. Writing
network programs is the most demanded skill in the Internet Age and MathLink
provides a sophisticated level of network programming to the nonprogrammer,
scientist, engineer, and student. Mathematica's powerful "problem-oriented"
programming language includes symbolic and numerical computation, and excellent
graphics capabilities, which enables users to write compact and
