The Author, Gerd Baumann, is affiliated with the Mathematical Physics Division of the University of Ulm, Germany, where he is professor. He is the author of Symmetry Analysis of Differential Equations with Mathematica®. Dr. Baumann has given numerous invited talks at universities and industry alike. He regularly hosts seminars and lectures on symbolic computing at the University of Ulm and at TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN (TUM), Munich.

From the reviews of the second edition:"The new edition contains a lot of new material and examples ... . It is shown how Mathematica can be used to support (or to replace) many of the usual 'by-hand' calculations and to study the results instantaneously by means of graphical representations. In particular, advantage is taken of many special functions and operations ... which are available in Mathematica. The book contains many sample programs, in written form as well as on an attached CD-ROM." (M. Plum, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006)
