i will be giving a one day [8:30am - 5pm] tutorial on mathematica programming at ucla on saturday october 30. you are welcome to attend [as is anyone]. there is no charge. there will be a note set on the mathematica programming language handed out at the tutorial. after attending the tutorial you might be better able to determine your needs in regards to a text on mathematica programming (i like dave wagner's book myself) and i can talk to you about it at or after the turorial. -richard gaylord- In article <7suulg$1sr at smc.vnet.net>, Shige Song <sgsong at ucla.edu> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am a new user of Mathematica, I just bought the student version > version 4.0.
