As someone who I assume has a deep understanding of Mathematica, any chance you can recommend the best tutorial/resource to get going with effective Mathematica use?
I've been trying to plug Mathematica into my workflow in place of a number of tools I'm more familiar with and I keep running into issues where I either try to do things in a very un-Mathematica way or the default behaviors I assume of the program are wildly incorrect (e.g. Thread operates in the reverse order I would expect, importing an extracting a column from a csv file seems clunky, wrote up a worksheet with a number of E variables with subscripts only to find out its treated like Exp[], etc.)
There seems to be a wonderfully large amount of available training and tutorials all over the web but I don't know where to start to most effectively acclimate to Mathematica.
- taliesinb 14y agoThe help is voluminous and really quite wonderful (all the examples are executable). Just go to the documentation center and explore until you get tired. And repeat a couple hundred times. It's like reading Wikipedia. At least, exploring is how I learnt it. These video courses also exist and are all free: http://www.wolfram.com/training/courses/ http://www.wolfram.com/training/courses/. I haven't tried any of them, but they're supposed to be quite good.
