Recommended Tutorial

If you are completely new to Mathematica, you can learn the basics of Mathematica quickly (in a few hours) with the help of

Schaum’s Outline: Mathematica, Eugene Don, McGraw-Hill, New York, 359 pp, 2nd edition 2009, ISBN 978-0-07-160828,covers up to version 7.0, 750 exercises with answers

To get it quickly, go to Amazon, type “Schaum’s Outline ofMathematica, 2ed” (Be sure it is the 2009 edition ). Can be bought used from $3.70+$3.99 shipping; new from $10.95+$3.99 shipping.

Teaches only the elemental procedural level but that is sufficient for this course. Advanced levels: rule-based and object programming, may require much longer study, but are not needed here.
