First of all, i hope that the contents of this thread does not violate copyrights or the will of any co-author and that we are allowed to freely post, share, discuss exercises/exercise solutions, especially our own solutions, found in texts co-authored by Wellin et al. (Gaylord, Kamin, Wellin). Due to legal concerns, maybe we cannot republish the exercise problem statement verbatim or in any other copied form (screenshot/image, photo/image, scan/image)?

Mathematica learners and readers of these popular programming intro texts should find this collective discussion thread helpful, everyone, especially beginners, is welcome to post, share, ask. When working with his books I try to solve an exercise on my own, then check the official .nb solution (not the .pdf file), compare, and merge the two solutions, if mine differs conceptually. I include further edits in the .nb file, such as code rearrangement/reformatting, further textual explanations, sometimes corrections, text coloring, etc., basically improving the personal usefulness of the solution, e.g. for an eventual future second read.

There are 5 notable titles so far:

• EPM1 (2016)
• PWM1 (2013)
• IPM3 (2005)
• IPM2 (1996)
• IPM1 (1993)

Examples from one book can be re-found as exercises in another book, and vice versa, and there is much overlap and similarity of style, text, and exercises among the 5 books. All the material is imho introductory and only suitable for beginners. Like myself.

If you enjoy learning from (one of) these intro texts as much as I do, then this thread shall become the place for you to participate and discuss particular things thereof (solutions, text, questions, wishes, typos, criticism, etc). We would love hearing from you!
