Hey everyone, I found a sort of intro/tutorial notebook on my hard
drive that I must have downloaded a while ago.
"ProgrammingFundamentals.nb". I am not sure of the source, though the
author appears to be a Mr. Richard Gaylord.
"These notes form the basis of a series of lectures given by the
author, in which the fundamental principles underlying Mathematica's
programming language are discussed and illustrated with carefully
chosen examples. This is not a transcription of those lectures, but
the note set was used to create a set of transparencies which
Professor Gaylord showed and spoke about during his lectures. These
notes formed the basis for both a single 6 hour one-day lecture and a
series of four 90 minute lectures, delivered to professionals and to
students."
I sent it to a friend and recommended that he look through and try out
some of the exercises to become more familiar with Mathematica. It was
written in a previous version of Mathematica (dunno which, just not
8), but still has a lot of great exercises to try out. (the only real
difference being the new implementation of RandomInteger and
RandomReal instead of Random[Integer] and Random[Real])
Anyway, I have gotten stumped on one of the Transformation Rule
exercises which I have restated below:
Use a transformation rule to take a list of elements and return a
list of those elements that are greater than all of the preceding
elements in the list.
How can this be done with transformation rules?
