For more than 25 years, Mathematica has been the principal computation environment for millions of innovators, educators, students, and others around the world. This book is an introduction to Mathematica. The goal is to provide a hands-on experience introducing the breadth of Mathematica, with a focus on ease of use. Readers get detailed instruction with examples for interactive learning and end-of-chapter exercises. Each chapter also contains authors tips from their combined 50+ years of Mathematica use.
I used this as a supplement to a Computational Problem Solving class where the teachers were not so great, and this book was my savior for learning the Wolfram Language!! It focuses mostly on the graphics and plotting aspects of Wolfram Mathematica and gives about 5 to 6 examples of how to use each command it introduces. It is very hard to use Wolfram's documentation center when you have no idea to even start, and this book is more in-depth than the free virtual textbook. If you are a student taking a math/coding class that uses Wolfram Mathematica and are lost, this book will be your guide and is a great purchase.
