Hi all, I am a new user of Mathematica, I just bought the student version version 4.0. At first glance, the programing language is very different from all the other language I know. I program in VB and Delphi, a little bit in C, I also do some programming statistical packages like SAS and Stata; but the Mathematica's syntax (and the philosophy) seems to be totally different. Can anybody suggest some readings about programming in Mathematica from a perspective of more traditional language, like those I listed above? Does anybody want to share his experience (and feeling) of learning to program in Mathematica? Thank you very much. Best, Shige Song Department of Sociology, UCLA
