Great recommendation. Are these so old? I skimmed through [1] and they seem still on print and relevant?
What is other inspiring Mathematica literature? I have been considering Mathematica to cover some of the gaps Julia (and R or Python have). Particularly in the symbolics camp [2].
It's also nice Mathematica is free on Raspberry Pi, but it might be too slow to be of any practical use.

- plafl 4y agoI love this book, reading it right now: Power Programming Mathematica: The Kernel. It's (legally) free, you can find PDFs. Bonus: I love weird books covers. This one is charming. Am I the only one that notices that the barbell is bending upwards?
- larve 4y agoI should maybe have used another word. Mathematica has changed a lot (mostly by accruing functionality) that a lot of these examples seem old in the way they're written. The content is just as good as ever, and nothing beats fundamentals anyway.
