This revision of the successful textbook The Beginner's Guide to Mathematica, teaches new Mathematica users some of the important basics of the latest release of this powerful software tool: using the typesetting features, programming palettes, defining functions, creating graphs and notebooks, and applying useful problem solving techniques. Using their skills as Mathematica experts and teachers, the authors provide a brisk but careful tutorial for the Mathematica novice. From the fundamentals of installing and running Mathematica on your computer, through to tips on how to get the most from the advanced programming features, the presentation maintains its concise and knowledgeable tone, providing indexes for both concepts and Mathematica function names. This book will be a valuable tool for both students and individual Mathematica users.

Review
"The authors do a very good job of anticipating the types of things that a new user might want to use Mathematica for and providing clear explanations of how to accomplish these tasks. This book offers a quick, painless way to acquire Mathematica skills that might be used by lower-division undergraduates." Choice
"...writers are providing teachers with adaptable books that can be used for many different courses. A good example is The Beginner's Guide to Mathematica, Version 3 by Jerry Glynn and Theodore Gray." Ian Stewart, New Scientist

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very poor quality book,
By Fred (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to Mathematica ® Version 3 (Paperback)
On the back page it is written: "...a major revision of the successful book..." ? I wasted my money on buying this book. If you want to be serious in programming in Mathematica, get or buy a copy of the author called Maeder.
