MY BOOKS

I started my writing career with these two books:

  • Turbo Pascal for Beginners, WKL Publishing Company, Warsaw, 1990, pages 240
    This was a small book about programming in Turbo Pascal 3. The book covered basic Turbo Pascal programming constructions, data structures and selected algorithms. I wrote it for high school students and undergraduate students at the university.

  • ChiWriter 3, Lights and Shadows, WKL Publishing Company, Warsaw, 1991, pp. 224,
    This was the most popular in Poland book about ChiWriter. Who knows how many people used this book?

Later I wrote a few other books, some of them are listed below. There is a special web site devoted to my recent books.

 

ChiWriter 4, User's handbook

cover(in Polish), Lupus Publishing House, Warsaw 1993

ChiWriter was one of best word processors for DOS. This marvelous program was developed by my close friend Cay Horstmann. My book was a textbook about using ChiWriter for Desktop Publishing of scientific and technical documents. The book covered very classical DTP issues: complete document layout, electronic typesetting,  customizing ChiWriter, designing and implementing new typefaces, writing printer drivers, and many other things.  

 

College Computer Science

Apicture of the book(in Polish), Lupus Publishing House, Warsaw 1994, 1995, 1996.

I wrote this textbook of computer science for high school and college students. Book covered introduction to computing: word processing and DTP, data base systems, artificial intelligence, computer networks, computer graphics and simulation, operating systems and programming languages. Second part of the book covered programming in Turbo Pascal including objects and graphics programming. For about four years many high schools in Poland used this book as a text for their computer science courses.

 

MuPAD Pro Computing Essentials

Publisher Springer Verlag, 2002
"In this book, Prof. Majewski creates a fascinating mosaic of opportunities for teaching, learning, and discovering mathematics with the MuPAD computer algebra system. He shows how to write intuitive programs and develops interactive environments for exploring mathematics at different levels. The text is based on a large number of representative examples from undergraduate mathematics. The material has been extensively classroom-tested and should appeal to both traditionalists and innovators. A web site with examples, MuPAD graphs, exercises and solutions supports the book." - comment by Prof Fred Szabo, Concordia University, Canada

MuPAD Pro Computing Essentials (2nd edition)

Publisher Springer Verlag, 2004
This is my second book about using MuPAD in teaching undergraduate mathematics and solving undergraduate mathematics problems with MuPAD. The text gives a large number of useful examples from different areas of undergraduate mathematics. All examples from this book are published on my books web site.

 

 

Getting Started with MuPAD

Publisher Springer Verlag, 2005
For quite a while I was thinking about a MuPAD book for a complete beginners. Finally I wrote it. This book is a gentle introduction to MuPAD -- a modern computer algebra system. I introduce here MuPAD step-by-step and I show how one can use MuPAD in various areas of mathematics. Each chapter of this book should be considered as single workshop for MuPAD beginners. The whole book is a perfect resource for conducting workshops on using CAS to explore, experiment and visualize mathematical concepts.

MuPAD for Impatient

In Polish, Publisher Omega ART, 2005
Finally, there is also a Polish book for MuPAD users in Poland. A book like this is a vital resource for growing community of Polish users of MuPAD. This is my first Polish book after many years after finishing my college mathematics textbook. At the time of updating this page (Feb. 2007), this book is almost impossible to obtain. There are very few places where last copies of it still exist.
More information about this book is available on my books web site.
