Mathematica Tutorials
The first three tutorials are excellent for new users, and can be assigned to students as homework to learn Mathematica outside of class time.
-
(videos)
Follow along in Mathematica as you watch this multi-part screencast that teaches you the basics-how to create your first notebook, calculations, visualizations, interactive examples, and more.
-
(book)
Learn Mathematica at your own pace from authors with 50+ years of combined Mathematica experience-with hands-on examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and authors' tips that introduce you to the breadth of Mathematica with a focus on ease of use.
-
(online book)
Use this tutorial to learn about solving math problems in the Wolfram Language-from basic arithmetic to integral calculus and beyond.
-
Provides a list of new functionality in Mathematica 11, and links to documentation and examples for these new features-including 3D printing, audio processing, machine learning and neural networks, and text and language processing.
-
Access step-by-step instructions ranging from how to create animations to basic syntax information.
-
