Rating: 4 stars
Summary: outdated but still useful as introduction
Review: I found it quite useful to gather the necessay skills to start Mathematica, though it is rapidly becoming outdated and certainly lacks any in depth commands.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best long term reference on Mathematica
Review: I've been using this book since 1995. I use version 4.2 of Mathematica now and the fact that Shaw and Tigg wrote it for 2.2 doesn't matter. It teaches ways of thinking about problems in Mathematica that most other books don't even try. I use Mathematica almost daily in my professional life. If I run into a problem with applying Mathematica I invariably end up using Shaw and Tigg(I have 6 or 7 other references) rather than any others. I highly recommend this book. My only regret is that they haven't written a book in applying Mathematica to Boundary Value Problems in Physics. As they are both theoretical physicists I'm sure they would do a great job.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: mathematica can do data analysis
Review: This book is rather strong on data analysis. (linear regression, scattergram, etc.) It also explains various methods (both 2D and 3D) to graphically present such analyses. (e.g. fourier filtering, graphs with lots of interesting diagrams, etc.) I am sure social science people will enjoy this book. Plenty of examples to let you get on track quickly. However, rather weak on explaining theoretical bits (which makes it leave out certain important options and so on.)

N.B. For Mathematica 2.1 or lower.
