An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language

by Stephen Wolfram (Author) Format: Paperback
4.4 out of 5 stars (47)

Purchase options and add-ons

As the world's first and only full-scale computational language, the Wolfram Language represents a milestone in the development of programming languages that makes leading-edge computation accessible to everyone. Unique in its approach of building in vast knowledge and automation, the Wolfram Language scales from a single line of easy-to-understand interactive code to million-line production systems. This book provides an elementary introduction to the Wolfram Language and modern computational thinking. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming, and is suitable for both technical and non-technical college and middle-to-high-school students—as well as anyone with an interest in the latest technology and its practical application. Run everything in this book in any Wolfram environment on the web or your desktop.

From the Publisher

Wolfram Language logo

"The primary benefit of this little [book] is conciseness. . . . Sometimes you just need a hint or quick glance at a notation example. This one is organized for quick access."

— Verified Purchaser

From the Preface

"I've been explaining what's now the Wolfram Language to people for more than 30 years, and I finally decided it was time to take what I'd learned and write a minimal introduction that people could read on their own. This book is the result of that effort.

... ... ...

My goal is to make this book completely self-contained, and to assume nothing beyond everyday common knowledge.

... ... ...

I hope that the power and beauty of the language that I have nurtured for more than half my life will shine through, and that many students and other people, with many diverse backgrounds, can use this book to get started with the Wolfram Language and get involved with the kind of computational thinking that is quickly becoming a defining feature of our times."

Stephen Wolfram has had a unique trajectory in science, technology and business. Widely known for his discoveries in basic science and his groundbreaking 2002 book "A New Kind of Science," he has spent more than three decades building what is now Wolfram Language: the knowledge-based computer language that powers Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha and has contributed to countless inventions and discoveries, as well as to the education of several generations of students.

Wolfram was born in London and educated at Eton, Oxford and Caltech, earning his PhD in physics in 1979 at the age of 20. After a brief but distinguished academic career, he founded Wolfram Research in 1987 and as CEO has built it into one of the world’s most respected and innovative software companies, whose products are relied on by millions of people around the world.
