I have no interest in Fractals, and it seems like a random subject to make the topic of an introductory text. Had those chapters been on something I could actually use, like data analysis or statistics, I'd probably have given the book 5 stars.The book is good for its intended purpose: A quick introduction to get you up to speed on Mathematica (which turns out to be pretty easy if you are already familiar with any kind of procedural programming language, though the book does not assume that you are). The book explains some of the quirky basics very well (like the difference between curly braces, brackets, and double brackets), talks about good programming practices (which you will already have, or ignore, if you are a programmer), and how to best use the User Interface for speed and accuracy (e.g., mouse-driven menus versus keyboard shortcuts, versus typing something manually).Once you've read this book, you will be able to start writing simple Mathematica programs. As an aside, unfortunately you will also then find out just how awful Mathematica's "Help" material is (largely devoid of complex real-world examples that allow you to see how a function would be used in any but the most simplistic context). But, that's Wolfram's fault, not the author's.You will shortly need to know a lot more than this book provides, but that's hardly a criticism of an introductory text. It definitely demystifies Mathematica. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect intro for a novice *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2014* I have only worked through the first chapter so far, but it is already clear that this is simply an ideal tutorial for a newbie in Mathematica. I was looking for a gentle introduction that would take me from the very earliest steps, housekeeping details, proper way to enter equations, and on up. Jim Hoste, the author, proves himself a highly gifted teacher and writer. Have been practicing all the book's steps in conjunction with Mathematica 9. Although the book was written with version 7 in mind, I have not hit a single instruction in this book that did not work perfectly in version 9. So I suspect that even if you have version 10, which just came out, this book will continue to be a seamless resource for all the basics.For such a vast system as Mathematica, the book does not pretend to cover everything. To reinforce and extend the lessons in his book, Hoste guides the reader to essential, free resources on the Mathematica website. Highest kudos to the folks at Mathematica! The tutorials and help-pages are presented concisely, with flawless lucidity, in jargon-free language, and in small chunks so as not to exhaust the user. The quality of the explanations is at the same high level as in the present textbook. The book will give you a solid and extensive foundation; the website--or more advanced texts--will then take you even further. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good overview *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2013* The official Mathematica documentation is prolific beyond belief, so I appreciated finding this book which takes you on a whirlwind tour of the program. Simple aspects are covered pretty well. As more esoteric fields are entered, the breadth of coverage starts to shrink, where a tiny little chapter scratches the surface of some vast subject. But I don't see that as a major fault. It will get you started and then give you an overview of what else can be done.A few problems: Kindle formatting can be hard to read, common with highly technical notation (I'm referring to layout on the page and line breaks); there are no page numbers on pages, or the table of contents, or most distressingly in the index itself. In fact the index just lists words with no hyperlinked reference OR page number, so why is it there at all?? Still you can search instead. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/9102282-mathematica-demystified-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/9102282-mathematica-demystified-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
