If you're interested in learning how to use Mathematica, then this is the book for you! Hoste's "Mathematica DeMYSTiFied" is an excellent guide to help you master this powerful mathematical application.
Hoste's writing is engaging and easy to follow, making the book accessible even for those with limited programming experience. He does a great job of breaking down complex concepts and explaining them in a way that is both clear and concise.
One of the things I appreciated most about this book was how I found parallels between Mathematica and other programming languages, such as Python (eg. pandas). This allowed me to apply what I learned in the book to other areas of my work, which was extremely valuable.
Overall, I found this to be a highly informative and enjoyable read. Whether you're a student, researcher, or professional in a math-related field, I highly recommend giving this book a try. It's an excellent resource for anyone looking to take their Mathematica skills to the next level.
4.4/5
