A Mathematica Primer for Physicists, Napolitano J., 2018

A Mathematica Primer for Physicists, Napolitano J., 2018.
 
   My course was aimed at the level of sophomore, or above, STEM majors. That is, I assumed my students had already taken a year of calculus and a year of introductory physics. Of course, this book could also be a companion volume for instructors teaching an introductory calculus-based physics course.
This book is not styled after a user manual. The documentation for Mathematica is quite complete and, in my opinion, easy to use. Instead, I want to give just enough information for the reader to get started, introducing a limited number of new concepts in what I hope is a clear and narrative manner, especially in the Introduction. The following individual chapters draw on material that precedes them, but do not necessarily need to be followed in order.




GOOD HABITS FOR WRITING NOTEBOOKS.    
You are now ready to start writing your own notebooks for solving physics problems. Before you start in earnest, it’s a good idea to learn some good habits.

First, be neat. Arrange your commands in a readable form, and use carriage returns to split commands over lines if necessary. MATHEMATICA will indent things so that they are easily understood.

Most commands in MATHEMATICA end up creating new quantities, and MATHEMATICA remembers these throughout a session. When you write a notebook, it is natural to think of each notebook execution as a fresh start, but quantities left over from the last execution (or anything else you were doing on the side) will remain, and this can lead to confusing results.
