Are you interested in purchasing David Wagner's "Power programming with Mathematica"?

I recently contacted McGraw-Hill to see if they have a mechanism in place for printing out-of-print books that are still of interest. Specifically, I asked about "Power programming with Mathematica" by David Wagner, as I am personally interested in…

What Mathematica book to buy?

I have used Mathematica for several years but at a pretty low level - piecing together built-in function inefficiently and fearing the sight of # and &'s when I see others use them (I never do). I would like to improve my skills. Which book would be…

I was looking at the Mathematica website today and just decided to buy the software. I've spent too much time juggling annoying symbolic expressions by hand that actually learning to do things with a computer should be a worthwhile investment.…

Any updates to Withoff’s tutorial?

I was reading "Power programming with Mathematica" by David Wagner and he cites Withoff’s tutorial for the kernel evaluation process. Is there an updated version of that?

Reference request: Are there any recent books written in the same spirit as David Wagner's Power programming?

I enjoyed a lot the idea of David Wagner's book, focused in performance and tells you why some code is faster than the naive alternative, going to the inner workings of the kernel, which for me makes it easier to remember. However there are some…

Are there any offline tutorials for Mathematica?

As can be seen from my questions, I am struggling to make Mathematica do something useful. The amount of tutorials on the Wolfram web site is a bit overwhelming, especially that I don't have too much time to read them. However, I am commuting for…

Is the source code available for examples in the "Mathematica Cookbook" by Sal Mangano?

I looked around a bit and didn't seem to find it. Not as obvious as Wrox books make it, for example. I came across a pdf of the book online [I paid for the paperback] but pasting the code from the pdf resulted in a bunch of incorrect character…

Any examples how the software industry uses the Mathematica in production?

Many researchers prototype the algorithms in Mathematica. I know the Mathematica is great for doing the scientific research. But what about the software industry? Do you know some companies that use the Mathematica as part of its software/technology…

mathematica for learning?

Mathematica looks like an extremely powerful tool. I would love to have it in my toolbox. Unfortunately, I can hardly add two numbers together. I think the application of math through programming is the best way to learn. Is there any book that…

Good books about Mathematica?

I really like the book by Leonid Shifrin (http://www.mathprogramming-intro.org/). It does a great job explaining the general principles behind Mathematica's syntax. However it hasn't been updated since 2008. Although I suspect that many of the…
