Mathematica by Example, Fourth Edition by Martha L. Abell, James P. Braselton

This is a no nonsense text which enables the user to quickly extract thier results from Mathematica

A must have for the newest version of Mathematica

I found this book to be easy to understand and simplifies all my calculations thus far. If you have the latest version of Mathematica, this is a must HAVE!

Excellent Tutorial for Beginner/Intermediate

If you learn by example rather than by formalism, get this book. This presents the material in a logical framework with LOTS OF EXAMPLES. A companion volume is "The Mathematica Handbook", also by the same two writers. I used these books extensively in grad school. I remember standing in the university bookstore for 30 min comparing the handful of books available on Mathematica and these two books won out then and now still cover the fundamentals well. I still use them in my work today.NOTE: The volume I have only covers up to Ver 2.2, but I noticed the latest has 1997 copyright, so might now cover later versions.
