i will be giving a one day [8:30am - 5pm] tutorial on mathematica
programming at ucla on saturday october 30. you are welcome to attend [as
is anyone]. there is no charge.  there will be a note set on the
mathematica programming language handed out at the tutorial. 
after attending the tutorial you might be better able to determine your
needs in regards to a text on mathematica programming (i like dave
wagner's book myself) and i can talk to you about it at or after the
turorial.
