Excellent Manual
The mathematica book is the best manual ever written for some piece of software. I would even say, the major advantage of mathematica compared to other computer algebra systems is that it comes with decent documentation. I would love to have all software manuals to meet the standards set by the mathematica book. The most important feature of this book is that it is organized in ...

Innovative
This is the required text for calculus classes at several universities. It takes a very innovative approach to calculus by using the modeling software called Mathematica. The material is very visual and very engaging, and poses problems that are very much rooted in the "real world." Through this material, you learn not only the mathematics of calculus but also various ways of applying calculus ...

The heart of Mathematica
Certainly, this book talks about the most powerful feature of Mathematica. It talks about the part of the sotware, that makes it the best mathematics programm that has ever been made until our days. Without the contents of this book (Mathematica Packages) Mathematica becomes a common software like many others that exist today. It will surely help any person to use all the facilities of ...

Hubris or real insight? I think the latter.
After I got the past the first few pages where Wolfram kept repeating himself about how this book described a new kind of science, and that he was going to describe the new kind of science in the book, I got into the examples which are quite exhaustive and meticulously researched. So far I think his observations are quite interesting. I haven't gotten to the heavy metaphysical insights yet, but ...

Big, Beautiful and Formidable
I received A New Kind of Science by Stephen Wolfram in July 2002. It sits on a shelf in a place of honor. Occasionally, I take it down and open it as one would an expensive Bible. Someday, I'll really study it. Until then I love its feel, its heft, its marvelous and painstaking creation. It promises much--almost like the Bible promising eternal life. I bought it again as a gift for a young man ...

Graphica 1. The Imaginary Made Real: The Art of Michael Trott (Graphica)

visually stunning, lacking in description
I bought this book think I'd learn more about creating the art in which Mr Trott excels. Nope. Don't get me wrong: the book is a beautiful exposition of exquisite art. Each page left me gasping in awe. But to come to the end of the book and find one single solitary example of Mathematica code was like realizing the exquisite handsome model you date had a labotomy. Still pretty, but not enough.
