If you want to quickly acquire basic facility with Mathematica, try
The Student's Introduction to MATHEMATICA: A Handbook for Precalculus,
Calculus, and Linear Algebra
Bruce F. Torrence and Eve A. Torrence.

Truly a textbook. (Nicely limited in scope.)
Lots of very basic math well illustrated, and good coverage of
graphics.
