Hi, I am going to fulfil a lifelong dream and will embark on a long distance physics university course in autumn after spending most of my working life as a professional musician in the abstract world of music. For this endeavour I have to brush up and recover my long lost maths basics. After discovering and trying out Mathematica I have purchased the home version of this amazing program which, after spending some time with it, I consider to be the swiss knife of everything. I would like to ask for recommendations about what would be the best way to use the program for the process of studying and practising maths. Are there any course books available that would outline a path to be followed in combination with using Mathematica? I am currently studying Jerry P. King's "Mathematics in 10 lessons" to get the basics back, but I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of topics that have to be covered and would appreciate some recommendations in terms of organizing my studies with the help of Mathematica.
