When I took a course at UCI in computational physics, we did everything in Mathematica. (HW's, Projects, final exams). Everything was done using notebooks. We used the instructor's own Mathematica book, which is here http://mathematicahandbook.com/ (it is an ebook, comes in notebooks you can run directly and see the examples, all actual Mathematica code) The standard version is only $30. It has many examples and it is meant directly for physics and engineering. (I got the full version, also got a printed version for extra charge, and it is well over 1,000 pages) and was worth it. If you like to get an idea of the type of problems we did in the class using Mathematica, here is my physics class web page http://alturl.com/qyfos Other than this, I recommend the documentation center in Mathematica itself :) btw, there is a large note with full of links to many Mathematica learning resources at stack exchange Mathematica forum, you might want to check, called "Where can I find examples of good Mathematica programming practice?" here is the link to it http://alturl.com/adih8 --Nasser
