Summary: Best beginner's book in Mathematica...
Comment: I got the 1998 printing of this book, which treats Mathematica 3., but not 4.+. So some of the formatting for the commands is not quite right, but a 4.+ user can use the Help Browser in Mathematica to correct for these.

This book is written at a freshman/sophomore level, and includes enough basics to be useful for a Calc I through Calc 3 student, Linear Algebra student, and Intro Statistics student. Some of the 3D plots are truly beautiful, such as the hyperboloid in one sheet. These authors have a full grasp of parameterization, which is necessary for some plots (e.g., the hyperboloid in one sheet).

So--a great intro, with more content than other intro Mathematica books.

Summary: A must for mathematica beginners!
Comment: This book helped me a lot getting started with mathematica . It gives easy examples in all basic math areas. The examples can easily be reproduced and modified for personal use. The only critique is that there is no disk included...everything needs to be punched in.
