1) Go to Help, Documentation Center, Core Language, Functional Programming
and try to become familiar with these commands. If you're used to procedural
programming, a few of the functional commands may take a while to get used
to but just keep 'pushing the envelope'.
2) Localize variable values. Don't write code like:
x = 3;
f = x^2 + Sqrt[y]
Plot[f, {y, 0, 5}]
Instead write:
f[x_, y_] := x^2 + Sqrt[y]
Plot[f[3, y], {y, 0, 5}]

Hi,
As a new user of Mathematica, where would I find coding style info towards
good coding. I don't want to get into bad habits of coding. Any docs
anyone can recommend? Thanks
