That's a useful tutorial on your blog. Of course the palette shown reflects your own interests and needs. But the title "Newbie.nb" for this palette jarred when I saw the For expression on one of the buttons. In general, it's a bad idea to look right away to For in order to do iteration. I recommend that "newbies" not even be told about For until all other, more reasonable constructs -- Table, Sum, f@@expr, f/expr, Nest, etc. -- be tried first for fit to the problem. In short, when in Mathematica-land, code in the best "Mathematica-speak", not in FORTRAN-speak, C-speak, etc. bobeuland at gmail.com wrote: > Since nobody answered my question I had to do some digging myself.
