An Introduction to Programming with
Mathematica, Third Edition by
Samuel N. Kamin
Incredible, Consistent Text
An Introduction to Programming with Mathematica® is designed to
introduce the Mathematica programming language to a wide audience.
Since the last edition of this book was published, significant changes have
occurred in Mathematica and its use worldwide. Keeping pace with these
changes, this substantially larger, updated version includes new and
revised chapters on numerics, procedural, rule-based, and front-end
programming, and gives significant coverage to the latest features up to,
and including, Mathematica 5.1 Mathematica notebooks, available from
www.cambridge.org/0521846781, contain examples, programs, and
solutions to exercises in the book. Additionally, material to supplement
later versions of the software will be made available. This is the ideal text
for all scientific students, researchers, and programmers wishing to
deepen their understanding of Mathematica, or even those keen to

program using an interactive language that contains programming
paradigms from all major programming languages: procedural, functional,
recursive, rule-based, and object-oriented.
Personal Review: An Introduction to Programming with
Mathematica, Third Edition by Samuel N. Kamin
This book is extremely useful to take a beginner through simple, well
explained exercises. I can honestly say you will learn tremendous
amounts about Mathematica.
If I could only have one book and needed to program Mathematica, this
would be it. Hands down. I can only believe this book was intended as a
book for a course. I feel the book is paced to allow any student to read the
pages and work the very well thought out exercises.
If you are working on your own and learning Mathematica, do yourself a
favor and buy this book. The only other book that I would get is the
amazing reference "Mathematica Navigator". You won't learn how to
program Mathematica from it. You will learn an amazing amount about
how Mathematica works by reading it. If you don't believe me, check out
it's thorough explanation of cubic splines. It's better than the Mathematica
Help. It also comes with the complete book which can be installed in the
Mathematica help system.
There are other books which are good. Between these two books, you will
an amazing arsenal to work with!
