精彩摘录
- "Definitions can be associated with the head of a function (“downvalues”), with the heads of its arguments (“upvalues”), or with the head of the head, etc. (“subvalues”). Upvalues are effectively a generalization of methods in object-oriented languages."
- "What happens if a variable escapes from a Module without having been assigned a value? Try it! You’ll find you’ll get a new variable that’s been given a unique name."
- "What about other procedural programming constructs, like Do and For? The Wolfram Language has those. Do is sometimes worth using, particularly when your objective is side effects, like assigning variables or exporting data. For is almost always a bad idea, and can almost always be replaced by much c"
- "There’s a correspondence between patterns for strings, and patterns for sequences in lists. SequenceCases is the analog for lists of StringCases for strings."
- "Can I specify a file name in CloudObject, CloudPut, etc.? Yes. And the file name will be taken to be relative to your home directory in the cloud. The file will also get a URL, that includes the base of the cloud you’re using, and your user ID."
用户评论
Mathematica入门教程，wolfram官网可以下载nb格式文档
看这本书的本意是希望借助mma进行数学运算，但是等我全看完了才发现这是编程入门书籍，虽然不是我想要学的，不过了解一下编程思想也不算是浪费时间。书里所举的例子都讲得很明白，语言通顺思路清晰，是相当self-contained的一本书。另外作者似乎有点自恋，明明谢了顶，还要数次加入自拍照，还很得意地提到自己的另一本书a new kind of science。可是这书在amazon.com上从一星到五星的评论票数都差不多，暂时就不去拜读了。
灵活，强大，值得更多的练习和投入
想象无穷的工具
缺乏系统地编程实例，大量的基础操作，期待下一版书籍

Mathematica官方教程的出版物
特点在于介绍新特性以及强大内置函数而已。
