Automating computations for PDEs

with Mathematica
We’ve seen lots of cool, computer generated illustrations of solutions of PDEs this semester. With the test just around the corner, I’d like to show you a tool that will ease your algebraic workload. When it comes to computer algebra, there’s definitely nothing more powerful than Wolfram Research’s Mathematica.
