the student's introduction to mathematica and the wolfram language

I’ve tried to make it appropriate for both adults and kids. It just starts from scratch and explains things. It doesn’t assume any knowledge of programming, or math (beyond basic arithmetic), or anything else. And when I say “zero”, I really mean “zero”. The goal of the book is to take people from zero to the point where they know enough about the Wolfram Language that they can routinely use it to create programs for things they want to do. The result is An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language, published today in print, free on the web, etc. My last book- A New Kind of Science-took me more than a decade of intensely focused work, and is the largest personal project I’ve ever done.īut a little while ago, I realized there was another book I had to write: a book that would introduce people with no knowledge of programming to the Wolfram Language and the kind of computational thinking it allows. I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to write another book.

An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language is available in print, free on the web, etc.
