About the Author

Cliff Hastings has been at Wolfram Research since 1997. After graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor s degree in mathematics from Monmouth College, he joined Wolfram as an evangelist aboard the MathMobile, traveling the country training people to use Mathematica. As the author of the original Hands-on Start to Mathematica video series, his passion has always been helping people get started with Mathematica.

Kelvin Mischo is a Certified Mathematica Trainer and works at Wolfram Research overseeing strategic relationships with academic organizations in North America. After learning Mathematica as a student at the University of Illinois, Kelvin joined Wolfram in 1998 to work with high schools on the integration of Mathematica into their courses. Kelvin has given hundreds of technical seminars and trainings on Mathematica to high schools, two-year colleges, and universities.

Michael Morrison joined Wolfram Research in 2005 after completing a bachelor s degree in computer science and mathematics from Illinois Wesleyan University and a master s degree in mathematics from Illinois State University. While at Wolfram, Michael held a variety of positions, ranging from the technical education of internal staff to using Mathematica for data analysis and reporting initiatives. Michael is currently employed at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he oversees research and analytics for the Advancement Office.

is not easy to grasp in my opinion) Book is very well ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

Shows lots of handy Mathematica short cuts in Mathematica IDE, which are not obvious.
Seems to be the only Mathematica book, which shows how IDE works. (Mathematica IDE, is not easy to grasp in my opinion)
Book is very well presented, but could have added more material, some of the pages only seem half full of information, lots of white space.

Does not do sufficient justice to Mathematica, could have added more examples.
The paper quality is beautiful, and would have liked to see it packed with more excellent Mathematica graphics and techniques.
But, still worth the purchase , just to get the IDE tips, it gives you (which do not seem to yield to google searches)
Recommended, but could also be much improved on.

Been using Mathmatica on and off since 1992. It was ground breaking then. Went from using log books at school , to having Mathematica on my own computer, in the space of 8 years. Felt that Mathematica could have made more progress, than it did, during last 25 years,
But, looks like Wolfram research, are now moving more in the right direction. I think this book, and excellent start , and a good attempt to communicate the power of the Mathematica system.

The technique, for how to use Mathematica, is not obvious, this book, shows you very good techniques,
You can Google out ,all implementation questions on Wolfram language, but Google does not give you the techniques, required. This book, however does. So, even if you are experienced Mathematica user, it is worth purchase.

Nice book, recommended for beginner, and expert.

This book is a must.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

it's excellent. it's the best textbook about Mathematica I have ever read. And I am a Mathematica user since Version 1. That is more than 25 years. And even after writing a lot of programs, packages and personal functions, I still find it useful for me. Imagine the usefulness for a beginner..
In all these long 25 years I purchased a good number of texts about Mathematica, in addition to all the manuals Wolfram published till version 5.,including Reference Guides.
Books written by Gray, Glynn, Ruskeepaa,, Maeder, Blachman, Trott, Wellin, Shaw, Tigg, all excellent books, but, in my opinion, not written with the new users in their mind. Let me ask you. Do you tried ever to read a Dictionary?. Your answer will most probably be : NO. You don't read dictionaries. You open them only when you need them.. That's the case with the majority of these texts. You open them when you need to learn how to deal with a command you are interested in when writing your code. These books try to be exhaustive, but it is impossible to be exhaustive with a system like Mathematica.
This Hands-on-Start to Wolfram Mathematica is the first book about Mathematica I really enjoyed reading, and not opening it only to learn a specified command. New users will surely enjoy reading it and in the meanwhile learn a lot, without being intimidated by the complexities of Mathematica. For me, the most impressive achievement of the authors is the user friendly way they wrote this book, due surely to their profound interest to help the readers understand how to use Mathematica. Of course the book do not try to be exhaustive. It would be impossible.trying to be.exhaustive and at the same time be a book that teach how to start using Mathematica. I hope the authors will continue with their efforts to teach
new users, and also not so new ones. how to take the best Mathematica has to offer..

Very good book with a few issues

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

I very much enjoyed working thru this book. It is an excellent primer on using Mathematica. There are a few places where the material is out of date or there are mistakes. Most of the issues surround free form input and is likely due to changes in WolframAlpha interpolation. I was able to futz with what the book had and get things to work without too much fuss. The book has exercises that can be completed and an answer key that can supposedly be downloaded. However the download didn't work and the publisher never responded to my inquiry about the broken download. Worth the money and overall a very good book but could be excellent if not for the mistakes.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

Wolfram's Hand-On Start to Wolfram Mathematica is a much needed introduction to Mathematica 10. It's been a good long time since Wolfram published a manual to its computational masterpiece so this certainly helps a lot. This is a workbook that hobbyists and professionals can learn the basics of Mathematica. Mathematica is a huge program with nearly 5,000 functions. The last time Wolfram produced a hard copy manual was Mathematica Book, Fifth Edition. With 1464 pages it went over all the functions of the for the Mathematica 5.0 and came out in 2003. It was truly an math encyclopedia. It was also quite well written and an excellent textbook. In the intervening twelve years the number of functions has more than doubled. So a manual like the Mathematica Book would be a true encyclopedia with over five thousand pages. So, the manual is now part of the extensive help menu along with a library of pdf books. Some of us would still prefer a paper edition. This fills that need.

The text is divided into two parts, the first part goes over the basics of mathematica. How to use the program. The Wolfram language conventions. How to use the word processor function, graphs, and how to create demostrations. The second part is a closer examination of various concepts in depth. Such as algebraic manipulation, calculus, export and import of data. Since Mathematica keeps everything and only makes additions to the big program, users of older editions of Mathematica can still find a lot of good information. The text is clear with wide margins, the authors used color effectively, and pointed the Mathematica user to resources contained online and in the program itself. This is a must have book for any Mathematica user. I recommend it highly.

Muy buen libro.

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on July 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Una buena introducción para usuarios principiantes con poco o ningún conocimiento de Mathematica, presenta de forma clara y ordenada los elementos esenciales para poder hacer uso de este sistema, además de que los últimos capítulos presentan algunos de los temas más importantes en los que Mathematica es sin duda una aplicación muy poderosa, tales como el manejo de datos, estadística, cálculo, ecuaciones diferenciales, elementos de programación, así como la creación de aplicaciones haciendo uso de paralelismo. Un libro muy recomendable.
